The aim of this work is to compare postoperative pain and factors influencing the index of postoperative pain in laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (TAPP) and (e-TEP). From November 2019 to December 2020, 104 patients with inguinal hernia in need of treatment who applied to the City Clinical Hospital No. 23 were selected as subjects of the study. Surgical methods were used to conduct the study, as well as statistical processing of the results in IBM SPSS Statistics 26.0, Microsoft Office Excel 2019. It was found that the assessment of postoperative pain in patients is directly related to the type of operation, and not to the type of hernia staplers used; and there is also a significant relationship between patients' postoperative pain scores and the number of implanted hernia staplers.
