Abstract

Over the last 5 years, the field of hernia surgery has had a significant transformation thanks to many new and innovative surgical techniques as well as an exponential growth in mesh and mesh technology. Increased focus on hernia surgery has led to improved research and outcomes data and has provided strategies to treat both simple and complex hernias. This is a prospective study encountered in sree mookambika institute of medical sciences at urology department from marchn 2023 to dec 2024. The most scientific way to come to conclusion over superiority of one method over other is based on evidence‐based medicine. I hereby share our experience regarding the safety of the three widely practiced methods of inguinal hernia repair to decide on the best method in terms of complication rates. The age distribution of the subjects ranged from 24 to 70 years. The mean age of patients subjected to TEP and TAPP group were similar around 48 years. However, the mean age for Lichtenstein repair was 49 years. The cumulative prevalence of inguinal hernia in males aged 25‐34 years is 5 %, rising to 10 % for age 35‐44 years, 18 % for age 45‐54 years, 24 % for age 55‐ 64 years, 31 % for age 65‐74 years and finally 45 % for males of age 75 years or more. Inguinal hernias occur eight times as often in men as in women and consequently approximately 90 % of all inguinal hernia repairs are performed in male patients. study TEP is the best method of hernioplasty for a primary inguinal hernia. However, large scale studies and long‐term follow‐up studies are required to evaluate for the chronic pain, recurrence rates and learning curve in laparoscopic hernia repair.
