COMPARATIVE STUDY OF TECHNIQUE OF MESH FIXATION IN OPEN INGUINAL HERNIA REPAIR BETWEEN N-BUTYL CYANOACRYLATE GLUE AND SUTURE

Abstract

Inguinal hernia is the most frequently diagnosed hernia. It accounts for 75% of all abdominal wall hernias and has a lifetime incidence of 27% in males and 3% in women. Open inguinal hernia repair has long been the method of choice for most surgeons and is often recommended in contemporary literature as the optimal approach for primary unilateral inguinal hernia. Lichtenstein tension free mesh repair remains the standard criterion. It is known to be relatively simple and effective with minimal pain.
