Modified Guarnieri-Desarda Technique Versus Lichtenstein Technique in Inguinal Hernia Repair
Sponsor: Cairo University
Summary
The aim of this study is to compare the surgical outcome of both Lichnichtien tension free mesh hernioplasty of inguinal hernia and the combined modified Guarnieri Desarda technique in terms of postoperative pain, post operative complications (seroma, hematoma, wound infection), chronic inguinodenia, early recurrence and assessment of testicular vascularity and size by application of a testicular duplex and ultrasound.

Lichtenstein Mesh-Based Hernioplasty
This is a tension-free hernioplasty procedure that uses a synthetic mesh to reinforce the inguinal canal floor. The mesh is fixed to the inguinal ligament and internal oblique aponeurosis, creating a barrier to prevent hernia recurrence. It is considered the gold standard for inguinal hernia repair and is widely used for its effectiveness in reducing recurrence rates and postoperative complications.
Combined Modified Guarnieri-Desarda Tissue-Based Hernioplasty
This technique combines elements of the Guarnieri and Desarda tissue-based repairs. It does not involve the use of synthetic mesh, relying instead on the patient's own tissues to reinforce the inguinal canal. The Guarnieri technique reshapes the internal ring to improve the inguinal canal's shutter mechanism, while the Desarda technique reinforces the posterior wall using the external oblique aponeurosis. This approach aims to preserve natural anatomy and minimize complications associated with mesh use.
