Introduction: Inguinal hernia is a very common surgical disease. It is estimated that at least 5–8% of the population will develop a groin hernia in their lifetime, making groin hernia repair one of the most common operations performed by general surgeons. The only way to treat inguinal hernia is surgery.

Aim: The aim of our study is to compare the outcome after Lichtenstein’s inguinal hernia repair using conventional mesh v/s self–fixating Progrip mesh. The primary endpoint of the study will be the incidence of post–operative pain.

Objectives:

1) To compare the outcome in terms of operative time.

2) To compare possibility of complications.

3) To compare postoperative pain.

Conclusion: Lichtenstein’s inguinal hernia repair using self–fixating Progrip mesh has an advantage over conventional mesh in terms of less operative time and post–operative pain.
