Abstract:
Aim: To evaluate the rate of infection and other outcomes after mesh hernioplasty in patients at Gulab Devi Hospital. Methods: The present descriptive cross sectional study was carried out at Gulab Devi Teaching Hospital Lahore. Sixty subjects were included in the study through non-probability sampling methods. Results: All subjects were male. The mean age was 43.68±12.13 yrs. The associated comorbid illnesses were present in 36.7% but the rate of mesh related infection was only 5% of the total study population. Conclusion: The elective procedures such as mesh hernioplasty for inguinal hernia repair are the safest procedures. This is evident by the lowest frequency of infection (5%) in elective mesh hernioplasty for Inguinal Hernia. However, this percentage can further be reduced by adopting advance level of sterilization and postoperative care.
