Abstract

Introduction: The hernioplasty or Open herniorrhaphy procedures have typically been used to repair inguinal hernias. The advent of minimal access surgery in the past ten years has changed the trends. Aim: The goal of this study is to govern the efficacy of minimal access surgery (Laparoscopic repair) in the treatment of inguinal hernia repair. Methods: This prospective descriptive study was held in the General Surgery department, Lady Reading Hospital, Peshawar during the period from January 2022 September 2022. All patients above the age of 18 who presented with inguinal hernias had the choice of either laparoscopic or open surgery. In the study, those who opted for laparoscopic repair were included. Results: Seventy patients having 18-65 years of age with 32 years of median age at admission were included. Out of them 65 were male and 5 females. Most of the patients had age group 31–40 years, followed by 41–50 years. Ten (14.3%) patients had bilateral hernias, 45 (64.3%) unilateral right hernias, and 15 (21.4%) unilateral left hernias . Just 8 hernias (11.4%) were direct, while the remaining of hernias 62,( 85.7%) were indirect.
