Summary

Management of indirect hernial sac in inguinal hernia repairs has long been a subject of debate among general surgeons. Although hernial sac high ligation (HL) is a time-honored concept in groin hernia surgery, non-ligation/invagination is gaining more popularity. The aim of this study is to compare the effects of hernia sac ligation and invagination in patients with Lichtenstein mesh hernioplasty (LMH). Also, investigators aimed to investigate the possible association between the hernial defect size and postoperative early pain in both groups.

Conditions

• Hernia, Inguinal
• Postoperative Pain
• Recurrence

Interventions

Type	Name	Description
PROCEDURE	Lichtenstein Mesh Hernioplasty	The inguinal canal was opened and the hernia sac was dissected from the spermatic cord The deep inguinal ring was tightened with one or two polypropylene 2/0 sutures. The posterior wall of the inguinal canal was supported using the standard polypropylene mesh and fixed with 2/0 polyproline. The ilioinguinal nerve, iliohypogastric nerve, and genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve were preserved and care was taken to prevent entrapment.
