Popis: Introduction: A Lichtenstein tension-free mesh hernioplasty is the most commonly performed surgery for an inguinal hernia. Chronic inguinodynia is the most prevalent surgical complication, with a 25% overall incidence. The second most common complication is hypoesthesia. Ilioinguinal neurectomy has been proven in several studies to alleviate chronic inguinodynia. Aim: To compare the postoperative inguinal pain and aesthesia in Ilioinguinal Nerve (IIN) preservation patients with neurectomy patients in Lichtenstein tension-free mesh hernioplasty. Materials and Methods: This randomised clinical trial was conducted at GMCH, Udaipur, Rajasthan, India during January 2020 to June 2021 on 70 individuals (35 in each group). The IIN was excised in group A, while it was preserved in group B. Pain and aesthesia was assessed at day seven, one month and three month follow-up. Chi-square test was used for data analysis.
