For an average or above average sized male, Hernia’s on both sides, laparoscopic surgery with mesh is the best bet.
For a male with only one sided hernia, I would typically offer open with mesh if it were a huge scrotal hernia. I.e., extends down to the scrotum.
The most common situation I would offer non-mesh repair is in very thin males and small hernias or if there is a clear allergic potential.
