Randomized clinical trial of Lichtenstein's operation versus mesh plug for inguinal hernia repair

Two of the most commonly used open prosthetic tension‐free techniques for inguinal hernia repair are Lichtenstein's operation and the mesh plug repair. The technique of choice remains a subject of ongoing debate. The objective of the present investigation was to compare the two surgical procedures with respect to associated morbidity and recurrence rates.
