Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
There is a constant debate between usage of Light weight vs heavy weight mesh in Inguinal Hernia repair. More studies were done Concentrating on Laparoscopic repairs rather than Open repairs. Chronic pain rather than recurrence is considered as a Greater adverse Outcome.

Patient will be approached for participating in the study and will be explained the details regarding the same. An informed consent is taken once the patient agrees and then will be recruited into the study. He will be placed in either of two groups, namely Light weight mesh category or a Heavy weight mesh category which is entirely based upon the surgeon preference. After the procedure he will be monitored regarding factors like postoperative pain, infection seroma formation which will be mentioned in the outcome measures
Patients are followed up for Postoperative Complications like Infection, Seroma formation, Foreign body sensation, Groin Stiffness along with Recurrence and Chronic groin Pain. Pain Score Based on Visual analogue scale(VAS) recorded on a scale of 0 to 10 on Postoperative day 1, Postoperative day 2, 1st followup day, after 3months and after 6months. Patient data on Duration of Hospital  stay and Duration to start Physical activity is noted. Patients are questioned on quality of life after surgery with a followup periodmof 6months
