Professional Med J Jan ;14(1):119-22.

Introduction: Although most complications are of a mild variety, some severe, potentially life-threatening complications have also been reported such as bleeding from the femoral vessels. Period: From January till July 2005. Materials& Methods All adult patients admitted for inguinal hernia repair on an elective basis were included. Records of hernioplasties done were also incorporated in the database. Exclusion criteria Age under 14 years, emergency surgery and incomplete records. Results: A total of 205 elective inguinal hernioplasties were performed. The complications were encountered classified into three categories; Per-operative, Anesthesia-related & Post-operative. Conclusion: We propose that all future research categorize the complications according to the proposed causes so as to better streamline the future guidelines.
