What is hirenya surgery?
I presume you mean hernia Surgery? There are different types of hernia and repair usually consists of suturing the defect or covering it with a mesh patch. The operations are done either as Open surgery or Minimal invasive Laparoscopic surgery. Various mesh plugs are also available for repair and depends upon the personal choice of the operator

What is best method to repair small inguinal hernia in young man?
An inguinal hernia is a defect in the opening of the musculo-tendinous opening of the abdomen. It can be due to a tear ("direct", the less common type), or due to a stretching of a normal orifice (the inguinal ring) through which the scrotal cord naturally passes ("indirect", the more common type).The hole must be closed (in the case of a "direct" hernia), or tightened back to its normal small dimension (in the case of a "indirect" hernia).Older methods of inguinal hernia repair involve mobilizing the tissues that surround the hole and bringing them together under tension, holding them together with sutures. These methods (which include the Bassini (and modified Bassini), McVay, and Shouldice methods), have a high incidence of recurrence (variably between 8 and 20%) due to the tension of tissues pulling at the sutures. Such tension causes the sutures to erode through tissues (much as a wire cheese cutter cuts through cheese), which is the eventual cause for recurrence."Tension-free" methods include patching the holes with a piece of plastic mesh (and, experimentally, with bio-mesh materials), plugging the hole with a piece of plastic, or both.Plastic mesh sheets can be placed from the outside (open Lichtenstein method) or from the inside (laparoscopic method). A single sheet of a plastic patching mesh has a higher risk of recurrence than using a method that involves a combination of both plugging the hole and patching it as well. This is because the sheet of plastic can "wad up" into the hole, can pull loose from the edges, and can shift position (sliding sideways so that the hole is again exposed).Securing a large plastic sheet in an attempt to avoid this is necessary, but placement can involve a wide area of dissection and therefore increased post-operative pain. Furthermore, laparoscopic methods involve securing the mesh with staples close to critical nerves and small blood vessels; the complication rate of laparoscopic methods can be as high as 30% because of this. Experimental methods of securing the mesh using glue instead of staples may reduce these complication rates in the future.Plug-and-patch methods currently include the Per-fix method and the Prolene hernia system. The Prolene hernia system has the lowest demonstrated recurrence rate but requires a greater dissection for placement and therefore carries a higher risk of post-operative pain. The device consists of two disks of mesh connected by a stalk of mesh connecting them, that acts as a plug. When the defect is larger, this system may be preferable.The Perfix plug and patch requires the smallest incision for placement and the least dissection. It is basically a badminton-birdie (shuttlecock) -shaped cone of plastic (avaialble in various sizes) placed nose first into the defect. It is additionally covered by a smaller sheet of plastic (on the outside), placed separately. There is still a risk of post-operative pain with this method, even though dissection is less. This can occur especially if the hole is tightened too much, so that nerves are impinged during repair and/or become entrapped by scar tissue that necessarily occurs around the plastic mesh.Currently the preferred method for initial inguinal hernia repair should either be the Perfix plug/patch mesh method (especially for smaller defects) or the Prolene hernia system (better for larger defects).When an inguinal hernia repair is recurrent, however, there is often scar tissue from the original hernia repair. If the original repair was "open" (i.e. through an external incision) instead of laparoscopic, the scar tissue will be external. In such situations, a laparoscopic method for repair of the recurrence allows an approach through areas (from the "inside", or abdominal side) of the recurrent hernia that presumably are not scarred. This is usually easier to perform. Laparoscopic hernia repair ought to be done by a surgeon experienced not only in laparoscopic surgery, but specifically in laparoscopic hernia repair. Complication rates by non-experienced surgeons is unacceptably high.It is unclear which is the best way to repair a recurrent inguinal hernia that was initially done laparoscopically. Logically, scar tissue from the original repair will in this instance be on the "inside" (or abdominal side) of the hernia defect following laparoscopic repair. Repair of a recurrence is therefore logically easier using an external ("open") approach. Whether a patch only (Lichtenstein) or plug/patch (Perfix Plug or Prolene hernia system) method is preferable in such instances is not clear, but a logical extension of results from other comparisons (of initial hernia repair methods) of the Lictenstein method versus the plug/patch methods likely favors the latter for repair of laparoscopic recurrences as well.
