The present study is to show the various outcome to inguinal hernia repair by mesh plasty using absorbable and non-absorbable synthetic mesh, over a span of one year. Method All patients are operated electively for uncomplicated inguinal hernia over a period of 2 year in SGH were selected for this study. Result There were total of 100 cases of inguinal hernia repair during the study period. 50 cases were operated by mesh-plasty using non-absorbable mesh and 50 cases by using absorbable mesh. Conclusion Mesh-plasty is the best way for inguinal hernia repair. It is found that the use of non-absorbable mesh in the repair is more effective &associated with lowest recurrence rate than that with absorbable mesh.
