Background: Approximately 75% of all abdominal wall hernias are inguinal hernias, which are the most prevalent type of hernia worldwide.The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of prolene soft mesh versus heavyweight composite polypropylene mesh on post-operative pain in patients having lichensteins mesh repair for inguinal hernias. Methods: This study was carried out in the KLES Dr. Prabhakar Kore Hospital and Medical Research Centre, Belgaum, which is connected to KLE University's J.N.M.C. Belgaum, in the Department of General Surgery. Results: There was a noticeable male prevalence, with 96.67% of patients in group SG and 100% of patients in group CG being male. Group CG had a mean age of 49.50±14.03 years, while group SG had a mean age of 51.93±18.73 years (p=0.571). In group SG, the mean illness duration was 12.67±9.85 months, while in group CG, it was 15.10±8.98 months (p=0.321). Groups SG and CG had similar mean pulse rates (79.60±5.64 vs. 82.37±5.46 /min; p=0.059), diastolic blood pressure (73.73±6.76 vs. 124.33±11.94 mmHg; p=0.165), and systolic blood pressure (120.33±9.99 vs. 124.33±11.94 mmHg; p=0.165). In group SG, 56.67% of patients had the right inguinal hernia , compared to 50% in group RP (p=0.673). Conclusions: Compared to heavyweight composite polypropylene mesh, prolene soft mesh, or lightweight macro-porous polypropylene mesh, dramatically reduced the post-operative pain in patients having lichensteins mesh repair for inguinal hernia.
