Abstract :
Background: Groin hernia is the one of most common performed surgery. There are many methods of hernia repair. Pre
peritoneal mesh repair is one of best recommended repair for hernia. Aim: To study the effectiveness of Pre peritoneal
mesh repair for bilateral and recurrent inguinal hernia with respect to wound healing duration, duration of hospital stay,
post-operative complication and recurrence raten. Methods: All the patients included in the study underwent surgical
management for Groin hernia. No patient in the study group underwent conservative management. Patients underwent
preperitoneal mesh repair operative procedure for bilateral and recurrent inguinal hernias. Results: In our study inguinal
hernia was more common in age groups of 31 to 60 years. 96.6% of our patients were males and 3.34% were females.
Indirect and right sided were common in the study. All patients were operated in spinal anesthesia. Time taken for patients
to get back to normal activity was 7-10 days. Post operative pain was mild to moderate in our study. The post operative
complication rate was minimal and during the brief follow up there were two recurrences. Conclusion: Open preperitoneal
mesh repair with suprapubic transverse incision has found to have short duration of surgery, less perioperative
complication and cost effectiveness to the patient. Still surgeons experience and orientation required in the repair.
