Abstract:Introduction
One of the most commonly performed surgery by a general surgeon is inguinal hernia repair. There have been numerous open surgical techniques and two laparoscopic techniques described in the literature for the treatment of inguinal hernias. The treatment outcome of all these surgeries remains the same which is reducing the hernia and preventing recurrence. Our aim was to compare laparoscopic versus open inguinal hernia repair with emphasis on postoperative pain.
