Abstract

Background: The aim of the study is to compare the treatment outcomes of surgical repair in
inguinal hernia with classic versus preperitoneal methods on reduction of postoperative
complications.
Methods: The present study included 100 patients out of which 60 were males and 40 were
females. Both the techniques were explained to the patients.
Results: The rate of recurrence was 4 in the classic group and 3 in the preperitoneal group.
The frequency of postoperative pain was 12 in the classic group and 7 in the preperitoneal
group. This difference was significant according to Chi-Squared test
Conclusion: It can be concluded that the preperitoneal method is a more suitable method for
inguinal herniorrhaphy than the classic one because of fewer complications, according to the
findings of this study.
