Exclusion criteria: Obstructive uropathy or chronic obstructive lung diseases- are contraindicated for elective hernia surgery. They are associated high hernia recurrence rates. Old and debilitated patients of poor general condition will not be able to give an accurate assessment of the key outcomes of the operation. Patients with strangulated inguinal hernias.

Design outcomes

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
rate of recurrenceTimepoint: - rate of recurrence measured at one, three, six months and one year during follow up.

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Post-operative pain at the site of operation, Operative time, Ambulation time, Induration/redness at the site of operation, post-operative wound infection rate, discharge time in days, Chronic post operative painTimepoint: The operative time is measured in minutes from start till closure of skin. Post operative pain at the site of operation is measured using visual analogue score daily till the day of discharge. Presence of pus at the site of operation indicates post operative wound infection,Ambulation time is time required to carry out basic activities without support, Induration/redness at site of operation, Chronic post operative pain at the end of three months,time to get discharged.
