This prospective randomized trial is performed to analyze the post-operative pain (acute and chronic) after endoscopic TEP repair after bilateral inguinal hernia repair.
consecutive patients with bilateral inguinal hernias will be recruited for TEP repair. Mesh fixation methods spiral tacks glue is randomly assigned to one side to the groin and Histoacryl synthetic glue to the other side. Patients will be followed up regularly for up to 6 months by an independent clinical nurse was blinded to the mesh fixation assignment. The patients are also blinded to the the mesh fixation assignment. The post operative pain score, peri-operative complication, and recurrences will be documented.

| Label | Type | Description | Intervention Names |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tack fixation | Active Comparator | consecutive patients with bilateral inguinal hernias will be recruited for TEP repair. Mesh fixation methods with spiral tack is randomly assigned to one side, then comparative fixation method to the contralateral side. In group of active comparator, after randomization, the target inguinal hernia side of the patient has the mesh fixed with titanium spiral tacks. |
|
| Synthetic glue fixation | Experimental | The same patient, his contralateral side of inguinal hernia, has the mesh fixed with synthetic glue. |
