Popis: Background: Inguinal hernia repair is a common procedure that general surgeons undertake with different techniques aiming for a better outcome. Aim of the work: Comparison between self-gripping mesh and sutures for mesh fixation in open [Lichtenstein] inguinal repair. Patients and Methods: This study is a prospective trial. Fifty adult males scheduled for inguinal hernia repair were classified into two groups: group A [n=25] underwent inguinal repair with self-gripping mesh; group B [n=25] underwent inguinal repair with mesh fixation using proline sutures. Results: The mean operative time was 37.4 ±13.5 and 48.81±14.7 minutes in groups A and B, respectively. The incidence of seroma, scrotal edema, and wound infection was 4%, 8%, and 8% in the group [A] compared to 12%, 24%, 12% in the group [B], respectively. No recurrence was reported in either group. However, 12% and 80% in groups A and B had mild postoperative pain [p 0.05]. The mean time to return to normal activities in a group [A] was 2.51days and 5.97 days in the group [B] [p
