Modified Guarnieri-Desarda vs. Lichtenstein Technique for Inguinal Hernia Repair

This study aims to compare two different surgical methods for repairing inguinal hernias, which are bulges in the lower abdomen or groin. The two techniques being compared are the Lichtenstein tension-free mesh hernioplasty and a modified version of the Guarnieri-Desarda technique. The study focuses on several important factors such as how much pain patients experience after surgery, any complications like fluid build-up or infections, and the risk of the hernia coming back. It also looks at the health of the testicles by using ultrasound technology to check blood flow and size. This research is important as it could help determine which surgical method might be more effective and comfortable for patients. Participants in this study will undergo one of the two surgical techniques for hernia repair. After the surgery, doctors will monitor them for pain levels, any complications, and the possibility of the hernia returning. The study uses a testicular duplex and ultrasound to evaluate the effects of surgery on testicular health. Monitoring will help understand the impact of each technique on blood flow and size of the testicles. By comparing these factors, the study will identify which method provides better outcomes for patients, potentially leading to improved surgical options in the future.
