Summary

Inguinal hernia is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in general surgery. This surgery can be performed with both open and laparoscopic techniques. There is no clear consensus on whether inguinal hernia repair, which is one of the most frequently performed surgeries in elderly patients, should be performed open or laparoscopic. The application of the open technique with regional anesthesia methods such as spinal anesthesia and local anesthesia makes these methods attractive. The fact that laparoscopic techniques cause patients to recover faster also makes these techniques attractive. However, the fact that it is usually performed under general anesthesia is a significant disadvantage. Increasing comorbidities and increased drug use, especially in elderly patients, make surgeons think about which technique to prefer. The aim of this study is to compare open and laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, which should be preferred in patients over 65 years of age.
