| Abstract | ||||
| Background: Inguinal hernia repair is one of the cornerstones of a general surgery practice and is one of the most commonly performed procedures. Although there are no exact figures totaling the number of inguinal hernia repairs performed annually, it has been estimated that approximately 800,000 cases were performed annually in 2003, not including recurrent or bilateral hernias. Aim: To report our experience in recording and evaluating the short-term outcome of inguinal hernia repairs with Desarda's technique. Patients and Methods: A total of 20 adult male patients with primary inguinal hernias were randomly allocated intraoperatively to undergo Desarda inguinal herniorraphy. Results: According to our scale evaluating outcome, desarda technique is effective and safe with least post-operative complications regarding inguinal hernia repair. Conclusion: Desarda repair is easy to perform and has shown to take shorter operative time. Also, there is no need of mesh with less suture material requirement. So, this method proves cost effective than the Lichtenstein method. Desarda hernia repair was found to be superior to Lichtenstein repair in terms of post-operative pain and foreign body sensation. It can be recommended for younger patients. | ||||
