Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To compare operative time in minutes in eTEP and TAPP during inguinal hernia repair.Timepoint: after end of surgery	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
To compare duration of hospital stay(from date of surgery to date of discharge) in days in both group.Timepoint: from date of surgery to date of discharge;To compare incidence of Surgical site occurences(SSO) (seroma, hematoma, SSI) formation after surgery by clinical examination at 7 and 30 days after surgery. Incidence of seroma will be assessed by clinical examination on day 7 and by USG in clinically suspected patients on day 30. Timepoint: at 7 and 30 days after surgery ;To compare Intra operative surgeon workload using NASA Task Load Index.Timepoint: after end of surgery;To compare post operative patient comfort using Carolina comfort scale at 24 hrs , 48 hrs and end of 1st week after surgery.Timepoint: at 24 hrs , 48 hrs and end of 1st week after surgery.;To compare postoperative pain as measured by Visual Analog Scale in eTEP and TAPP at 24 hrs, 48 hrs and end of 1st week after surgery.Timepoint: at 24 hrs, 48 hrs and end of 1st week after surgery.;To compare the incidence of hernia recurrence rates in both group.Timepoint: till 6 months after surgery	—
