Conditions

Inguinal Hernia

Brief summary

Unlike Lichtenstein tension free repair for inguinal hernia, Desarda's repair was introduced as a pure tissue repair with no need for mesh. In other words; the complications which may arise from the use of a foreign body (mesh) will be avoided. The idea was to evaluate the efficacy of this new repair and compare it to the standard Lichtenstein repair.

Interventions

PROCEDURELichtenstein tension free reair

a mesh is apllied on the posterior wall of the inguinal canal and sutured to the inguinal ligament below, to the internal oblique muscle above , and to rectus sheath medially.

PROCEDUREDesarda's repair

the repair is done using a flap of the external oblique aponeurosis sutured to the inguinal ligament below and to the aponeurotic part of the internal oblique muscle above.
