Comparative Study Between Laparoscopic And Open Mesh Hernioplasty In Unilateral Uncomplicated Inguinal Hernia

Abstract

Inguinal and femoral hernias are the two main types of groin hernias. There are two types of inguinal hernias: direct and indirect. When abdominal contents push through the internal inguinal ring and into the inguinal canal, it results in an indirect hernia. An abdominal protrusion through the transversalis fascia within Hesselbach's triangle is referred to as a direct inguinal hernia. Hernia repair is a surgical procedure done either by laparoscopic or open method.       

This study compares the above surgical interventions on the basis of multiple factors to determine which of them the procedure of choice is in unilateral, uncomplicated inguinal hernia.
