Protocol summary

Study aim
The aim of this study is to evaluate direct repair of hernia defects with sutures, with the aim of reducing seroma formation and recurrence after direct laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair.
Design
60 patients with direct inguinal hernia who meet the inclusion criteria, will be randomized in blocks based on whether the hernia is unilateral or bilateral with a one-to-one ratio by random allocation software to two groups of laparoscopic repair with TEP with or without repair of the inguinal canal with non-absorbable sutures.
Settings and conduct
The hernia will be repaired and then the main researcher of the study (surgeon) will provide the code and the patient's information to another researcher who intends to follow up the patient in the mentioned time intervals, who will not know the patients' surgical procedure.
Participants/Inclusion and exclusion criteria
Age older than 18 years, no history of open abdominal surgery, primary direct hernia or unilateral or bilateral recurrent hernia, no history of mesh implantation, BMI less than or equal to 40, and exclusion criteria: history of liver disorder characterized by ascites, failure kidney, failure to complete written consent, need to repair inguinal hernia with open surgery, history of abdominal surgery below the umbilical line Exclusion criteria: strangulated inguinal hernia
Intervention groups
Inguinal canal will be repair with the TEP method and the mesh will be inserted without fixation. In the intervention group, in addition to the above cases, after the complete reduction of the direct hernia sac, the fascia of the transversalis muscle around the direct hernia will be closed with a 3-0 non-absorbable thread.
Main outcome variables
The rate of surgical complications, including seroma, recurrence, surgical infection, acute pain, chronic pain, and other possible complications and patient safety
