Article Abstract
Purpose: This study compares the outcomes of Desarda and Lichtenstein repairs over a period of three years after surgery.
Methods: In the present study we included a total number of 624 patients over 18 years of age, out of whom 240 underwent Desarda repair and 384 Lichtenstein repair. Patient data was collected from patient records to compare the two repair groups. Primary outcome measures were the presence of recurrence and chronic inguinal pain after surgery. Secondary outcome measures included operating times, return to activity, short term (<28 days after surgery) complications, long term complications such as infections, abdominal wall stiffness and groin numbness, and patient satisfaction after surgery.
Results: There was no significant difference in recurrence rate between the two repairs. Chronic inguinal pain after Desarda repair showed greater and more significant decrease with time.
Conclusion: It appears that Desarda repair is as efficacious as Lichtenstein repair for hernia surgery, with a better long term pain profile. The short term complication rate is similar for both surgical procedures.

Introduction: Recently, bone graft materials prepared from permanent teeth have come into focus, and clinical and histological outcomes of this material have been confirmed by some studies. The aim of present study is to evaluate the characteristics of autogenous tooth graft material to use as a bone graft.
Material And Methods: Extracted teeth were taken into consideration with the informed consent from the patients.

Article Synopsis
- The study compares the outcomes of two hernia surgery techniques: Desarda and Lichtenstein, over a three-year period with 624 patients included.
- Primary outcomes focused on recurrence rates and chronic inguinal pain, while secondary outcomes included operating times, complications, and patient satisfaction.
- Results indicated no significant difference in recurrence rates, but Desarda repair showed a greater reduction in chronic pain over time, suggesting it may provide a better long-term pain outcome.

Background: The Lichtenstein technique is the gold standard for adult open inguinal hernia repair with mesh. The Desarda technique emerged in 2001 as a novel, promising non-mesh technique that has demonstrated low recurrence and postoperative complications.
Methods: We searched MEDLINE, the Cochrane Central Register of Clinical Trials, and Embase for randomized controlled trials (RCT) published until April 2024.

Introduction: The Desarda autologous tissue repair is comparable to the Lichtenstein hernioplasty for inguinal hernia regarding recurrence, chronic groin pain, and return to work activities. This study was designed to establish the outcomes of Desarda's repair versus Lichtenstein's hernioplasty concerning post-operative recovery to normal gait and its feasibility under local anesthesia (LA).
Materials And Methods: This study was a single-center, prospective, double-blinded, non-inferiority, randomized trial.

The aim of the current systematic review was to compare the Desarda technique with the Lichtenstein technique for the repair of inguinal hernias. A systematic literature search for randomized controlled trialsRCTs) was conducted comparing the Desarda technique and the Lichtenstein technique using electronic databases. The primary outcome evaluated was hernia recurrence and the secondary outcomes evaluated were post-operative complications, time to return to normal activity and operative time in minutes.
