Summary

The goal of this clinical trial is to investigate the feasibility of bilateral laparoscopic exploration for all unilateral cases followed by laparoscopic bilateral TEP repair in all cases with a contralateral occult hernia and to compare complications, recurrence rates, postoperative pain, and operative duration with prospectively performed unilateral repairs in young to middle-aged patients presenting with unilateral hernias in the surgery outpatient department.

The main questions it aims to answer are:

* To compare complications, recurrence rates, postoperative pain, and operative duration between both groups.
* Incidence of occult contralateral hernia Patients attending the OPD for unilateral inguinal hernia were counseled about the trial and fully encouraged to understand the difference between two procedures for unilateral hernia: bilateral exploration and bilateral TEP repair, upon which if a contralateral occult inguinal hernia was observed, documented, and controls were taken from the patients who denied bilateral exploration and underwent unilateral TEP repair. The allotment of patients was done in two groups of 30 patients each.

Researchers will compare Group A( bilateral TEP) with Group B (unilateral TEP) to see if complications, recurrence rates, postoperative pain, and operative duration occur in each group
