Abstract

Objectives: To find out the early postoperative complications of mesh repair of inguinal hernia by Lichtensteintension free method.Material and Methods: This study was conducted in Surgical “D” Unit of Khyber Teaching Hospital, Peshawar fromMay 2012 to February 2013. Inguinal mesh repair by Lichtenstein tension free method was performed on 151patients. They were followed up in the ward, at 2 weeks and 4 weeks interval for any complications.Results: Wound hematoma occurred in 15(9.93%) cases, seroma in 14(9.31%), wound infection in 3(1.9%), the painin 18(11.92%), and urinary retention in 9(5.92%), and scrotal swelling in 5(3.3%) cases in the immediatepostoperative period. Seroma was found in 6(3.97%), wound infection in 2(1.3%), pain in 11(7.2%) at 4 weekspostoperative follow-up.Conclusion: Pain and wound hematoma were the two most common complications in mesh repair in the immediatepostoperative period.
