Abstract

Open inguinal hernias are a common operation that is performed by general surgeons, and they are divided into mesh repairs and sutured based repairs. The Lichtenstein repair is the most popular mesh-based repair, and the sutured based repairs are divided into the Shouldice repair, Bassini repair and the Darning method. The open repairs are cost effective and associated with low complication. We have conducted this review article to look at the common operations that are performed. the recurrence rates and chronic pain.
