Objective-The main objective of the present study
to investigate the average time required for the
procedure of inguinal hernia and postoperative
complications.
Method- The present study contained 3 bilateral,17
right-sided and 7 left-sided herniae in the laparoscopic
group and 2 bilateral, 19 right-sided and 6 left-sided
inguinal hernia in open mesh repair group. A total of 54
patients had a primary inguinal hernia, 27 underwent
open repair and 27 underwent laparoscopic to open
repair.

Result- The patients were selected from the agegroup of 18-65 years in both the study and controlgroups. The mean duration of time in open repair foropen U/L -47 min, for open B/L- 90min whereas for laparoscopic repair was laparoscopic U/L - 85 min,lap B/L-136.67 min. patients in the open repair show wound infection, seroma formation, haematoma formation, cord oedema while in laparoscopic repair
only 2 patients show seroma formation, while open repair 1 patients show wound infection, and 3 patientswere shows cord oedema.

Conclusion-Conclude thepresent findings theoperative time is prolonged inlaparoscopic TEP repair as compared to open due tothe learning curve in our institution. It has a statisticaladvantage in relation to wound infection, seroma,haematoma only in 2 patients in the laparoscopic
hernia repair however statistically significant.
