Purpose: Postoperative pain is a common complication following inguinal hernia repair. Progrip mesh is a self-adhesive mesh claimed to reduce postoperative pain compared to traditional mesh types. This meta-analysis aimed to compare postoperative pain, operative time, hospital stay, complications, and recurrence rates between Progrip mesh and other mesh types for inguinal hernia repair.
