Abstract
Hernias are one of the most common problems seen in the surgical OPD. The most common type of hernia is an inguinal hernia, which makes up 75% of all abdominal hernias . Both men and women can get inguinal hernias, and the lifetime risk is 27% for men and 3% for women . Inguinal hernia affects people of all ages, but the incidence rises with age. In women, inguinal hernias occur at a later age, with the peak age of presentation being 40 to 60 years, unlike that of men, which is 10 years earlier . Cyanoacrylate showed a lower seroma rate and similar collagenisation to sutures (21).The chemical reaction that causes the curing of instant adhesives is referred to as an anionic polymerization, i.e., it causes a reaction to progress rapidly, with polymerization and curing taking place within seconds. The study was conducted at the general surgery department of sree mookambikaimedical college and hospital.This study was conducted between the duration of one year from January 2023 to February 2023.The comparative study was done between two groups on the use of cyanoacrylate glue and prolene suture for mesh fixation in mesh inguinal hernioplasty. The study included 60 patients who were divided into two groups of 30 patients each using a non‐ random convenient sampling technique. In our study, we found that the mean operative time to fix mesh in Group A was 2.23±1.28 minutes, while the mean operative time in Group B was 7.20±1.03 minutes. The difference between the mean operative time to fix mesh in both groups was found to be significant with a p value of 0.001. Techniques for inguinal mesh hernioplasty employing prolene mesh fixation with cyanoacrylate glue and prolene suture no. 3 produce results that are equivalent. However the usage of Cyanoacrylate adhesive in the mesh fixation showed promising results in terms of operating time,post‐operative pain, and hospital stay.
