Intervention / Comparator Agent  
Type  Name  Details 
Comparator Agent  2-0 Polypropylene suture  A standard 6 cm × 11 cm sized mesh is required for inguinal hernia. The lateral end of the mesh is split at the lower 1/3rd and upper 2/3rd junction to accommodate the spermatic cord. The lower margin of the mesh is fixed to the inguinal ligament starting medially at the fascia over the pubic tubercle extending laterally along the inguinal ligament beyond the deep inguinal ring using 2-0 polypropylene suture.Post operative parameters like pain,seroma,haematoma,erythema,surgical site infection,recurrence which will be followed up for a total duration of 6 months. 
Intervention  N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue  The mesh is fixed using N-butyl Cyano-acrylate at five places namely, the pubic tubercle medially, over conjoint tendon superiorly, near inguinal ligament inferiorly, internal oblique muscle laterally and around the neo-deep ring and 6x11cm polypropylene mesh is placed over the internal oblique muscle and conjoint tendon. A constant pressure of 5 minutes is applied over the mesh and the adequacy of adherence of mesh is confirmed Post operative parameters noted like pain,haematoma,seroma,erythema,numbness,surgical site infection recurrence which will be followed up for a total duration of 6 months.

Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To measure the effect of cyanoacrylate glue in
reducing postoperative complications like persistent pain and recurrence rate in comparison to suture mesh fixation in Lichtenstein hernia repair. 
Post operative pain assessment will be done for 24 hours and recurrence rate will be assessed for the next 6 months.  
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the incidence of
1. Surgical site infection
2. Haematoma
3. Persistent numbness
4. Erythema
5. Postoperative length of stay (days)
5. Return to normal activities among those in whom mesh was fixed with Cyanoacrylate and sutures. 
Persistent pain and recurrence measured at 0, 1, 3 and 6 month Surgical site infection, Haematoma, Seroma , Persistent
numbness and Return to normal activity measured at 0, 1, 3 and 6 month.

Response - NO
Brief Summary   It was found that the group in which N-butyl cyanoacrylate glue was compartively better than 2-0 Polypropylene suture  mesh fixtaion in lichtensein inguinal hernioplasty.In aspects of decreased pain,surgical infection,haematoma, seroma formation and recurrence of inguinal hernia post operatively.
