| Abstract Background; The repair of inguinal hernia carries considerable risk of recurrence in spite of the large number of studies there is no agreement on best surgical technique. Objective: To compare the outcome of inguinal hernia repair using mesh, and non mesh technique and to find the most suitable method of repairing. Patients and Methods; A study of 76 patients used to evaluate open inguinal hernia repair divided into 2 groups treated by mesh and non mesh technique during the period from April2005-October2009. Results; 76 patients divided into 2 groups, Group A; Forty patients treated by mesh repair, 95% males, 5% females, mean age 46 years. Indirect hernia 85% of the patients, 12.5% direct hernia, and 2.5%sliding hernia, postoperative complications; seroma(2.5%),superficial wound infection(5%),deep infection(7.5%),urinary retention(2.5%), scrotal swelling(5%),pain more than 3 days(5%),no testicular atrophy and recurrence. Group B; 36 patients treated by non mesh repair, 86% males, 14% females, mean age 50 years. Indirect hernia 83.35%, 11.15% direct hernias, and 5.5% sliding hernia, postoperative complications; seroma (5.5%), superficial wound infection (11%), deep infection (2.7%), urinary retention (5.5%),scrotal swelling(11%), pain more than 3 days(13.8%),testicular atrophy(2.7%),and recurrence(2.7%).
