| Background: Groin hernial repair is one of the most common operative techniques in surgical practice. There are multiple surgical techniques for the treatment of groin hernias. no one of them is the optimum technique for the treatment of it so we study the quality of life as it may play a role in making the optimum dissension in the treatment of hernia. Aim: This was a prospective study that aim to assess outcomes and quality of life (QoL) for patients who have done open tension free mesh and laparoscopic repair techniques for inguinal hernia. Patients and Methods: This was a prospective study that included 100 patients operated for inguinal hernia between December 2021 and September 2022 at the Department of general surgery, Al-Azhar University Hospitals in Assuit. Results: From all operated patients (100%) answered to SF-36 questionnaire. There were no statistically significant differences between the patients who operated with Lichtenstein's procedure and the patients who operated with a laparoscopic procedure (TAPP) in any of the eight categories analyzed with the SF-36 questionnaire. Conclusion: In our study, quality of life was much better in the laparoscopic group, especially in the physical scales of physical function, role physical, bodily pain, general health, and total physical health, which may reflect the effects of less body pain after laparoscopic surgery. In addition, better but not significant results were noted in mental health scales of vitality, social function, role emotional, and mental health, as well as total mental health | ||||
