The Groin hernia repair is a commonly performed general surgery procedure in both adults and children with inguinal hernias constituting more than 95% of all groin hernia repairs. Inguinal hernia repair is a commonly performed surgical procedure in our part of the world and is one of the common cause of hospital admission from the emergency or out patient department. Traditionally, surgical skin incisions have been made with surgical scalpel while modern method of making incisions with electrocautery had made it more sharp, precise and less time consuming. The cases of inguinal hernia are being managed in our center, Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital. Generally, these patients are seen by the residents and supervised by the faculties in the emergency and in OPD and later if required admitted in the wards. Clinical examination and imaging are done for the diagnosis . Then severity assessment is performed and the management is done accordingly. The proposed study will be a hospital based comparative study and aims to observe the overview of the surgical management of OPD based day care surgery of inguinal hernia and also to observe whether the surgical incision is being performed with scalpel or electrocautery. The patients fulfilling the inclusion criteria are selected for the study. Sample will be selected by non-probability (convenience) method and study variables will be recorded in proforma.
