Abstract: ［Abstract］ Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of open preperitoneal hernia repair with UHS and Lichtenstein repair for inguinal hernia. Methods 213 inguinal hernia patients from January 2013 to December 2018 were included in the study. Inclusion criteria were complete clinical and follow-up data. The patients underwent open preperitoneal hernia repair with UHS were assigned to UHS group （101 cases） and those received Lichtenstein method were served as Lichtenstein group （112 cases）. The curative effects of the two surgical methods were evaluated on the clinical data of both groups such as operation time， average hospitalization time， treatment cost， postoperative pain and recurrence rate. Results There were no significant differences in the operation time and average hospitalization time between the two groups （P>0.05）. There were no significant differences in complications such as hematoma， scrotal edema. The patients of UHS group had less discomfort， chronic pain and ischemic orchitis than that of Lichtenstein group （P<0.05）. No recurrence was found in UHS group and 5 cases in Lichtenstein group at a follow-up of one year. Conclusion In the present study， the open preperitoneal hernia repair （UHS） was superior to Lichtenstein operation with less chronic pain， discomfort and testicular ischemia.
