Objective: To determine the outcome of Open and laparoscopic Inguinal Hernioplasty.
Study Design: Comparative prospective study.
Place and Duration of Study: Department of Surgery Combined Military Hospital, Multan Pakistan, from Sep 2021 to Oct 2022.
Methodology: One hundred patients were enrolled and divided into Group-A and Group-B based on a technique used. Patents with a working diagnosis of inguinal hernia aged 13 to 90 years were included in the study. The data was collectedbfrom the participants at one week and six months post-operatively.
Results: The mean age of patients was 43.87±13.63 years. The mean operative time was 70.5±10.48 minutes. The mean hospital stay was 1.88±0.79 days. The median post-op pain at 0 hours was 2(2 – 1); at 6 hours was 4(6 – 3); at 12 hours was 5(5 – 4) and at 24 hours was 5(6-3).
Conclusion: The laparoscopic surgical technique is a wonderful addition to the surgical tool kit of a surgeon. When performed by experienced persons, there is speedy recovery and reduced hospital stay with minimal morbidity and mortality. It is highly recommended for inguinal hernioplasty.
