Primary hernia was 76.56% and recurrent hernia was 23.43%. Period of swelling was less than one year for majority (56.25%) of the patients, while the least of them had swelling for more than 2 years (10.93%). The most common side where the hernia was observed was on the right side (46.87%), followed by the left side (31.25%). 21.87% patients had inguinal hernia on both the sides (bilateral).
