Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine and compare the possible affects of two different inguinal hernia repair technique (TEP and Lichtenstein) on serum ASA levels.

Detailed description

Antisperm antibody levels are thought to be indirect indicators of spermatic duct injuries. The investigators' ultimate goal is to draw a conclusion about the effect of the type of surgery on spermatic duct integrity. The investigators are going to collect serum samples from inguinal hernia patients before and after surgery. The investigators aim to assess the effect of surgery on antisperm antibody levels of patients who undergo Licthenstein and TEP repair. Preoperative antisperm antibody levels will serve as control levels for each patient group.
