Abstract :

Hernia is the abnormal exit of an organ or fatty tissue, such as the bowel, through the wall of the cavity in which it normally resides. The definitive treatment of all hernias, regardless of their origin or type, is surgical repair with approximately 20 million repairs done worldwide annually. Objective of the study is to compare the effectiveness of laparoscopic hernia repair and Lichenstein’s Hernioplasty and to know for any Special pre–operative/ intra operative requirements for surgery. This is a non–randomized comparative study. This study consisted 50 patients treated with Hernioplasty (20 cases of Laparoscopic Hernioplasty and 30 cases of Open Hernioplasty) in the Department of General Surgery, Government General Hospital, Vijayawada during the study period of two years from 2015 to 2017. The present study supports the view that laparoscopic pre–peritoneal mesh repair of inguinal hernia is safe and efficacious and offers definitive advantages over open mesh repair and should be an available option for all patients requiring elective Hernioplasty.
