Background:To evaluate the new technique of sutureless mesh repair in terms of post op complications, operative time and hospital stay. Materials & methods:We included 100 inguinal hernia patients in a row who had been hospitalized for elective surgery. After obtaining their full agreement for the surgery, patients who met the study's inclusion criteria were included. Inguinal hernia repairs were made without the use of glue or fixation sutures by covering the posterior inguinal wall with mesh. Spinal anesthesia was used during surgery on every patient. The working area was cleared and allowed to air dry. All the results were recorded and analysed by SPSS software. Results:Mean age of the patients of the present study was 37.3 years. Majority of the cases of the present study .i.e. 61 percent of the patients, had right inguinal hernia, whereas the remaining 39 percent of the patients had left inguinal hernia. Mean duration of procedure of the patients of the present study was 48.3 minutes. Mean postoperative pain score at 1 hour, 5 hours, 10 hours and 24 hours was 5.1, 4.9, 3.5 and 1.6 respectively. Mean duration of hospital stay was 1.38 days. Seroma formation and infection were seen in 8 percent and 4 percent of the patients respectively. Conclusion: Sutureless tension free mesh repair in the treatment of inguinal hernia cases is an effective technique.
