The present study was aimed to compare the complications percent in repair of mesh to tension free repair of Darn. Methods: 127 patients from 20-66 years old, including 93 (73.2%) male and 34 (26.8%) females, reported for direct and indirect inguinal hernia with open Mesh/Lichtenstein (58 patients) or Darning repair (69 patients) in Khanagin general hospital and Jalawla general hospital from February 2017 to February 2020. The first point was to compare hernia recurrence with two types of technique. Results: Complications of recurrence in Lichtenstein repair were 1 patient (1.7%) with compared to darning repair which had a recurrence of 3 patients (4.34%). also, 3 patients (4.34%) got seroma in the darning repair technique while 2 patients (3.45%) in the mesh repair technique. Hematoma was appeared in 1 patient (1.45%) in darning repair group and nil in the mesh/Lichtenstein repair group. 2 patients (2.90%) treated by darning repair suffered from chronic pain while 1 patient (1.7%) suffered from chronic pain in mesh/Lichtenstein repair group. Conclusion: mesh/Lichtenstein repair is very promising in comparison to the other technique, darning repair, in complications in hernia.
