Brief Summary:
The current study aims to determine whether a use of closed suction drain following laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery performed for an inguinoscrotal variety can decrease the incidence of symptomatic seroma formation requiring interventions and thus, prevent postoperative morbidity.
Detailed Description:
Patients with laparoscopic inguinal repair, TEP as well as TAPP approach, which matches the inclusion criteria will be randomized intraoperatively, based on a complete assessment of eligibility, just before the mesh placement.
Patients recruited in closed suction drain arm will receive suction drain(14 French sizes) in preperitoneal space via a separate incision. The patients without drain arm, the regular postoperative course will be followed.
The drain will be removed once the output falls below 50 ml per day. Both groups will be followed up until three months post-surgery.
Clinical suspicion of seroma in symptomatic patients will be confirmed by ultrasound. Seroma will be managed conservatively till three weeks in the post-op period.
