Background : Inguinal hernia is a very common problem. Surgical repair is the current approach. The present study is to show various methods of inguinal hernia repair over a span of 1 year in a teaching hospital. Methods: All the patients operated electively for uncomplicated inguinal hernia over a period of one year were selected for the study. They were operated by various methods and followed. Results: There were total 130 cases of inguinal hernia repair during study period. 160 cases were operated by Lichtenstein method of hernioplasty, 17 by Preperitoneal meshplasty and 13 by TEP. Conclusion: Lichtenstein repair and endoscopic/laparoscopic techniques have similar efficacy. It is found that Lichtenstein’s tension free repair is standard and cost effective.
