Official Title: Pre-peritoneal Drainage Versus No Drainage After Totally Extra-peritoneal Hernioplasty for Inguinal Hernia - a Randomised Controlled Study

Brief Summary: This is a RCT on drain versus no drain after laparoscopic totally extra-peritoneal hernioplasty. We will assess the difference in seroma formation after surgery in 2 two groups by an independent assessor clinically and radiologist to document the size of seroma after surgery. Other secondary outcomes will be measured including post-operative pain, discomfort, analgesic used, patient satisfaction, recurrence of hernia, wound infection, etc.
