Abstract: Hernioplasty and herniorrhaphy are common surgical procedures used to correct hernias, a condition in which an organ or tissue protrudes through an opening in the muscular wall. Hernioplasty involves using a synthetic mesh to reinforce the weakened area of the abdominal wall, while herniorrhaphy involves suturing the muscular wall without the use of a mesh. This study aims to compare the effectiveness, complications and long-term results of hernioplasty and herniorrhaphy in the treatment of hernias. A systematic review of the scientific literature was carried out, using electronic databases such as PubMed, Google Scholar and SciElo. The results of this review showed that both hernioplasty and herniorrhaphy are effective in treating hernias, with comparable short- and long-term success rates. However, hernioplasty tends to have a lower rate of hernia recurrence compared to herniorrhaphy. Additionally, hernioplasty may be associated with faster recovery and less postoperative pain due to the use of synthetic mesh. On the other hand, herniorrhaphy may be preferred in patients at high risk of infection or rejection of foreign material, as it does not require the implantation of a mesh. The choice between hernioplasty and herniorrhaphy must take into account several factors, including the type and size of the hernia, the patient's clinical conditions, the surgeon's experience and the patient's preferences. Although hernioplasty appears to offer advantages in terms of recurrence rates and recovery time, it is also associated with an increased risk of complications such as seroma, hematoma, and wound infection. On the other hand, herniorrhaphy may be a safe option in selected patients, especially those with contraindications to the use of synthetic mesh. In conclusion, both hernioplasty and herniorrhaphy are valid options for treating hernias, each with its own advantages and disadvantages. The choice of the most appropriate surgical method must be individualized for each patient, taking into account a series of factors, including the severity of the hernia, the patient's clinical conditions and personal preferences. A careful assessment of the risks and benefits of each procedure is essential to ensure the best results and minimize postoperative complications.
