Abstract: This review study was aimed to evaluate and highlight the different surgical repair for inguinal hernias and discuss the most effective and safe techniques to be used in general surgery ward. We conducted an electronic search using the following databases: MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, searching relevant articles concerned with surgical management approaches of inguinal hernia published until January 2017. Searching was restricted to published articles in the English language. More studies were found through searching the references lists of identified articles. Numerous repair work approaches have been explained to date. Mesh repairs are superior to "non-mesh" tissue-suture repair works. Lichtenstein repair and endoscopic/laparoscopic strategies have comparable efficacy. Information from numerous studies suggest that the Laparoscopic technique repair work leads to less postoperative pain, a quicker return to regular practical status, and enhanced quality-of-life outcomes with comparable reoccurrence rates when compared with the Lichtenstein inguinal hernia repair.
Keywords: surgical repair, Cochrane Library, Scopus, Embase, Laparoscopic technique, general surgery ward.
