| Abstract | ||
| To compare two tension free techniques, darning versus mesh repair in cases of inguinal hernia. Prospective study was done in Tikrit Teaching Hospital. Ninety-six patients with non-obstructive unilateral reducible and primary inguinal hernia 48 patients operate with mesh and other 48 patients operate with darn repair. The two techniques where compared with respect to effectiveness, post-operative complications, and recurrence rate. Over all post operative complications were 27.1%, 31.3% in darn group and mesh group respectively. In darn group, wound infection occurs in 8.3%, scrotal haematoma in 12.5%, urine retention in 4.2%, and nerve pareses 2.1%. In mesh group, wound infection occurs in 22.9%, scrotal haematoma 8.3%, no recurrence observed in both study groups in one year follow up. As a conclusion; Darn repair is equally effective and much less costly treatment for inguinal hernia than mesh repair which had more risk of infection | ||
