Brief Summary  
 The practice of supporting the scrotum following inguinal hernia surgery is a universal practice. The groin hernia surgery has evolved from open repair to minimally invasive one over time with consequent decrease in incidence of post-operative local complications. The utility of scrotal support in reducing local complications following laparoscopic repair of inguinal hernia has seldom been investigated despite the advantages of minimally invasive surgery. Through this RCT, we attempt to investigate the utility of scrotal support in preventing post-operative pain, edema and hematoma in patients undergoing laparoscopic repair for small and medium sized inguinal hernia
