Summary:ABSTRACT Objective: To provide a comparative analysis of mean post-operative pain score after preservation and elective excision of ilioinguinal nerve (IIN) using standard Lichtenstein hernia repair (LHR) technique. Lichtenstein Hernia Repair (LHR) is the gold standard procedure employed for 70% of hernias. Postoperative chronic groin pain (PCP), defined as pain arising at or beyond 3 months after inguinal hernia repair, is the most debilitating long term complication badly effecting patient's satisfaction and quality of life after operation3. Exclusion criteria were bilateral, recurrent, irreducible, obstructed or strangulated inguinal hernia, peripheral neuropathy, previous abdominal incision and history of impaired cognitive functions.
