Summary

Inguinal hernia repair is done by two methods. The conventional method uses a prosthetic mesh for strengthening the defect but has been associated with complications. Another new method uses a strip of the external oblique aponeurosis to do the same.There is a necessity to conduct studies comparing the two methods of hernia repair under local anaesthesia in terms of feasibility, economic benefits, faster ambulation with less complications. The purpose of the study is to find a method that will lead to faster disposal of patients and early return to activities, thereby reducing the waiting list of patients that compromises their financial and social spheres and overwhelms the welfare system.

Conditions

  • Hernias Inguinal Reducible
  • Local Anaesthesia

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Desarda's technique

It will be performed by separating a strip from the upper leaf of the external oblique aponeurosis in continuity with the muscle and suturing it with the inguinal ligament below and the newly formed upper leaf of EOA above behind the spermatic cord to form the new inguinal floor. This strip will be put under tension by muscular contraction and works as a shield to prevent recurrence.

PROCEDURE

Lichtenstein's technique

A 6 × 11 cm polypropylene mesh will be fashioned to fit the posterior wall of the inguinal canal and sutured to the fibro-periosteum of the pubic bone and continued laterally, suturing the inferior edge of the mesh to the shelving edge of the inguinal ligament to a point 2 cm lateral to the internal ring.
