The European Hernia Society Guidelines of 2018 suggest that laparoscopic surgery should be
      preferred over open surgery for bilateral inguinal hernia repair even though scientific
      evidence are scarce. We will conduct a prospective, non randomise control trial, to
      investigate the superiority of one technique over the other.

Laparoscopic vs Open Bilateral Inguinal Hernia Repair

Inguinal Hernia Bilateral

Laparoscopic bilateral inguinal hernia repair

Open bilateral inguinal hernia repair

Evaluation of the post operative pain 24 hours after surgery. For the assessment of the pain will be used the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) score. (VAS Score Scale from 0-10, 0 no pain, 10 max pain)

General Surgery Consultant

days that need to be hospitalised after surgery

inability to voluntarily void urine up to 8 hours post surgery

presence of surgery related complications

recurrence of one or two of the hernias treated at the clinical evaluation one year after surgery

For the evaluation of the chronic pain will be used the registry for abdominal wall hernias Quality of Life questionnaire (EuraHS QoL) scale from 0 to 10. (0 = no pain 10=worst pain imaginable)

For the evaluation of the foreign body sensation to the inguinal area will be used the Carolinas Comfort Scale (scale from 0 to 5, 0= no symptoms, 5 = disabling symptoms)
