Open inguinal hernia repair remains a commonly performed surgical procedure, with techniques evolving to minimize complications and enhance postoperative recovery. Despite the advent of laparoscopic and Lichtenstein mesh repairs, open techniques are still widely used due to their accessibility and cost-effectiveness.In this trial we are enrolling 42 patients in 2 divided groups as a Group A and Group B .
