Eligibility Criteria

• Age: 14 Years+
• Sex: all
• Healthy Volunteers: No
• Age Groups: Child (0-17), Adult (18-64), Older Adult (65+)

You may qualify if:

• Above 14 years of age.
• With reducible non-complicated inguinal or inguinoscrotal hernia; unilateral or bilateral

You may not qualify if:

• Obstructive uropathy or chronic obstructive pulmonary disease because they are contraindications to elective hernia surgery. They are associated with definite poor outcomes, such as high recurrence rates.
• Unfit patients for surgery
• Patients with strangulated hernia.
• Recurrent Hernias.
• Per operative finding of separated, thin, and/or weak external oblique aponeurosis
