AB  - Hernias are one of the most common problems seen in the surgical OPD.
The most common type of hernia is an inguinal hernia, which makes up
75% of all abdominal hernias . Both men and women can get inguinal
hernias, and the lifetime risk is 27% for men and 3% for women . Inguinal
hernia affects people of all ages, but the incidence rises with age. In
women, inguinal hernias occur at a later age, with the peak age of
presentation being 40 to 60 years, unlike that of men, which is 10 years
earlier . Cyanoacrylate showed a lower seroma rate and similar
collagenisation to sutures (21).The chemical reaction that causes the
curing of instant adhesives is referred to as an anionic polymerization,
i.e., it causes a reaction to progress rapidly, with polymerization and
curing taking place within seconds. The study was conducted at the
general surgery department of sree mookambikaimedical college and
hospital.This study was conducted between the duration of one year
from January 2023 to February 2023.The comparative study was done
between two groups on the use of cyanoacrylate glue and prolene suture
for mesh fixation in mesh inguinal hernioplasty. The study included 60
patients who were divided into two groups of 30 patients each using a
non‐ random convenient sampling technique. In our study, we found that
the mean operative time to fix mesh in Group A was 2.23±1.28 minutes,
while the mean operative time in Group B was 7.20±1.03 minutes. The
difference between the mean operative time to fix mesh in both groups
was found to be significant with a p value of 0.001. Techniques for
inguinal mesh hernioplasty employing prolene mesh fixation with
cyanoacrylate glue and prolene suture no. 3 produce results that are
equivalent. However the usage of Cyanoacrylate adhesive in the mesh
fixation showed promising results in terms of operating
time,post‐operative pain, and hospital stay.
