Prospective randomised control trial comparing skin staples And polypropylene sutures used in inguinal hernia repair for Mesh fixation.

Abstract

Background: Lichtenstein’s inguinal hernia repair is a widely used open, tension-free technique in which the contents of the hernia are reduced, and a polypropylene mesh placed to reinforce the transversalis fascia (inguinal floor), effectively creating a new internal ring. This prosthetic mesh strengthens the inguinal canal’s posterior wall , eliminating tension on the repair, thus significantly reducing recurrence rates compared to traditional tissue-only methods.
