Self Fixating Versus Stapled Mesh for Laparoscopic Inguinal Hernia Repair

The initial laparoscopic approach will be the same for both groups until the process of selection and placement of the mesh (ProGripTM self-gripping mesh versus standard 'lightweight' (large pore) polypropylene mesh fixed with SecurestrapTM) which would be decided by randomization by sealed envelope into one of the 2 intervention groups: Group 1 (Self-gripping Mesh), Group 2 (Stapled Mesh).
