Abstract
Background: Hernia are among the oldest surgical challenges and are currently the most commonly performed general surgical operations.
Many of the newer techniques, have demonstrated that when performed well, the recurrence rate should be relatively low.
Objective: The objective is to know the risk factors, clinical presentations, and various methods of surgical treatment, and also the comparative study between open mesh and non mesh repair of inguinal hernia in six month duration of follow up.
Method: A randomized comparative study of Open Mesh and Non-mesh repair was done for the 135 patients presenting with inguinal hernia, admitted in our hospital were studied from January 2017 to June 2018.
Results: Out of 135 patients who underwent inguinal hernia surgery, majority were men in their fourth and fifth decade. Most of the patients opted for Non-mesh type of repair.
Randomized prospective study was done to compare Non-mesh and mesh repair of inguinal hernia. Patients were followed for six months, except for 3recurrences in Non-mesh group, there were no other significant difference noted.
Conclusion: After Randomized study, it wasn’t possible to identify clearly the benefits of mesh repair in respect to short term outcomes.
Though it is advised, particularly in training institution, to use mesh because Recurrence rate is low. The present study results indicate that this is not the case of early recurrence, which represent technical failure. And also, studies says that long term follow-up is required for full determination of recurrence rate.
