Abstract

The use of tissue adhesive glue to fix the mesh in inguinal hernia repair is an alternative for sutures and clips. One of
these tissue adhesive is the histoacryl (n butyle (2 cyanoacrylate). In our study 59 male patients whom they complain of
having 75 inguinal hernia (43 unilateral and 32 bilateral) were recruited for such technique.This research focuses on the
evaluation of this method. The procedure performed was the standard Liechtenstein -tension free repair for all inguinal
hernias.The preoperative preparation, intraoperative time, use of antibiotics, use of post operative painkillers, patient
satisfaction and return to work and the early and late complications were analyzed.
Conclusion: most surgeons are still doing the traditional and usual method of Mesh fixation in inguinal hernia repair.
This new technique is recommended for the benefits found in our study.
