This study is a prospective non‐randomized case control study on 50 consenting patients presenting with inguinal hernia. TAPP repair is taking more time than TEP repair. Most of the surgeries both TAPP and TEP repair fall into 60‐90 mins’ operative time group. In both TAPP and TEP repair groups, there are no intra‐op complications such as bowel injury, hemorrhage and injury to cord structures. There was no conversion in case of TAPP repair to OHR and there were 5 conversions from TEP to TAPP due to peritoneal breach. P value being 0.001, highly significant. In present study, there were 2 cases of infection in the TAPP re‐pair group comparing to none in TEP repair group. In case of seroma formation 8(32%) cases in TAPP repair group compared to 4(16%) cases in TEP repair group. There were no cases of urinary retention in both TAPP and TEP repair group. P value being 0.001, highly significant. In present study, most of the patients were discharged in 1st post op day itself, TAPP 6 (24%) and TEP 16 (64%). But TEP operative group has more discharges than TAPP, 64% compared to 24%. In post op day 14 (56%) patients and 6 (24%) patients in TAPP and TEP group respectively. In post op day 3, each group had 3 discharges. In post op day 4 or more, 2 patients were discharged. Most of the patients of TEP group were discharged in post op day 1 and such as in TAPP group on post op day 2. P value being 0.045 which is significant.
