PURPOSE: The aim of the present clinical study was to compare early and late outcomes after @entity169 with the heavyweight mesh (HW) and lightweight mesh (LW) during a 3 year follow-up period. METHODS: 226 @entity1 were randomized into LW and HW mesh groups, both of which underwent unilateral primary @entity169 via the Lichtenstein technique. Wound complications ( @entity281 , @entity1410 , @entity2080 ), @entity547 , @entity158 in inguinal area were determined in @entity1 . @entity158 was measured by visual analogue scale. RESULTS: No statistical difference has been found between LW and HW groups by wound complication (P  =  0.80). One case of @entity547 has been mentioned in both groups one year after hernioplasty. But there was no detectable difference between the two groups. No significant difference has been found between LW and HW groups by frequency of @entity1118 7 days, 1 and 3 months, 1, 2, and 3 years after surgery. As for the feeling of foreign body in groin it is similar in both groups after 1 and 3 months. Level of feeling of foreign body was significantly lower in LW group 1, 2, and 3 years after surgery, than in HW group (P  =  0.03, P  =  0.02, P  =  0.02, respectively). CONCLUSION: Our research shows no significant difference in wound complications, @entity547 and @entity1118 after Lichtenstein hernioplasty, by using of LW and HW meshes. The usage of the LW mesh was associated with less feeling of foreign body than that of the HW mesh, what can be considered as prevalence of LW mesh hernioplasty.
