Background Surgical repair of hernia is considered to be one of the most repeatedly conducted operations all over the world. Aim This study has been carried out to obtain well-established information about surgery duration, hospital stay, and short-term and long-term complications, following inguinal or ventral hernia repair using ProGrip meshes. Patients and methods A total of 50 patients with right oblique inguinal hernia (Rt. OIH), left oblique inguinal hernia (Lt. OIH), or paraumbilical hernia and epigastric hernia (PH or EH) ventral hernia were enrolled in this study. Operative repair was performed using self-gripping polyester meshes. Follow-up to compare the anticipated outcomes of these hernia types was done. Results Most of the short-term and long-term complications were found to be low in Rt. OIH, Lt. OIH, and PH or EH ventral hernias. Hospital stay was found to be 1–2 days in all of them. Return to work was 10–14 days. Patient satisfaction was 100% in Rt. OIH, and a little below in other types of hernias. Hematoma was found to be 0–13.3%, seroma in 0–23.3%, pain in 10–30%, wound infection in 0–16.7%, and recurrence 0–10%. Conclusion For the ProGrip meshes, they are recommended to be used in both Rt. OIH and Lt. OIH, as well as EH and PH.
