History of Changes
  Purpose

Aim is to evaluate outcomes of inguinal hernia repair incorporating the standard Lichtenstein (open) repair using Surgisis IHM in a double blind (physician evaluator and patient will be blinded), randomized, prospective comparative study with polypropylene mesh. Outcomes are recurrence, return to full activities, pain, seroma rates and complications. Patients will be followed at 2 weeks, 3 months, and 6 months post-operatively, and every 6 months after that for 3 years. Hernia recurrence will be confirmed via ultrasound or CT scan.
