| Abstract | ||
| Background: Successful hernia treatment should offer high patient satisfaction, low cost, low recurrence rate, and rapid return to work Objectives: To compare the effectiveness and safety of laparoscopic and conventional open repair in the treatment of inguinal hernia. To determine whether laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair offers a quicker return to duty over open repair. Subjects & Methods: All of the patients were male, both in the group A and group B. Majority of the patients operated were having right inguinal hernia in both groups with right hernia making 80% in group A and 60% in group B. Results: Our study showed that mean hospital stay in days for the group A was significantly lower than the group B (1±0.5versus 1.5±0.5). Hence the mean post-operative hospital stay was significantly higher in laparoscopic repair than open hernia repair which was extremely significant. Conclusion: It can be concluded that laparoscopic hernia repair is associated with high postoperative hospital stay than open hernia repair. | ||
