Data was collected in terms of operating time, post of pain, hospital stay, and return to normal work and recurrences. Student t test was used for analyses. RESULTS For plug and patch patients, mean operating time was 43.07mins. For Lichtenstein patient it was 59.43mins. (p<05). Mean hospital stay for plug and patch was 2.90 days and for Lichtenstein patch repair it was 4.90 days which was statistically significant.
