At least 80 patients who will undergo laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair surgery will be randomized into 2 groups. For the patients in the first group, the whole mesh will be laid on the area without being fixed. The patients in the second group will be given a mesh of the same size, but partially divided horizontally and wrapped around the spermatic cord. Demographic data of patients in both groups, quality of life data(Carolinas Comfort Scale) at postoperative 1st, 7th, 30th, 3rd and 6th months, postoperative pain (VAS values), clinical seroma rate, recurrence and other complications will be monitored. When the desired number of patients and follow-up period are reached, the data in the 2 groups will be compared.
