Methods Prospective randomised control trial (RCT).
Participants Ninety‐two male participants from 20‐60 years of age reported for direct or indirect inguinal hernia with open Mesh/Lichtenstein or darn repair, in emergency or electively, from January 2014 to December 2015.
Interventions Comparison of Lichtenstein repair and tension‐free Darn repair
Outcomes The primary end point was to compare the surgical site infection, length of hospital stay and hernia recurrence with different techniques.
Notes Conclusion: Lichtenstein is more promising in comparison to Darn repair in terms of recurrence in inguinal hernia.
