Abstract :

This study was carried out to compare the outcomes of both the techniques of hernioplasty namely midline and conventional in terms of duration of surgery, post operative pain, post operative analgesic requirement, hospital stay, return to work, patient compliance, post operative complications and recurrence. Total of 30 patients randomly selected were included in the study. They were divided in the two groups of 15 each, out of which one group underwent the conventional method while the other group was operated through the midline approach. The result outcomes suggested that the conventional approach was associated with little longer duration of surgery, requirement of analgesia and to work as compared to the midline approach. While the results were equivalent for both the groups in terms of post operative pain, hospital stay and compliance. The recurrence rate for the midline approach was 6% while it was 0% for the conventional approach. Thus both the approaches have their own pros and cons.
