Primary outcomePrimary: Inguinal Hernia Mesh Insertion Times — 9.76; 8.70 Minutes — p=0.523
Summary
The purpose of this research study is to measure the clinical effectiveness of two different polypropylene meshes used for laparoscopic inguinal hernias by evaluating subjects' length of hospital stay, perioperative complications, recurrence rate, pain score, comfort level and postoperative quality of life. A secondary goal of the study is to evaluate the ease of use and time it takes surgical residents to place the mesh and perform the surgery using these two different meshes.
