Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
To evaluate the intra-operative and post-operative complications between 3D mesh and Polypropylene mesh among patients with clinically or radiologically proven Inguinal Hernia admitted undergoing laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair .Timepoint: Patients will be followed up on post-operative days 1 and 3 for pain and seroma formation. Dressing will be changed on post-operative day 3 to assess wound infection. Skin sutures will be removed on post-operative day 10. Follow-up protocol after suture removal: 1 Month, 3 Months, and 6 Months: QOL and Recurrence.	—
