TL;DR
Laroscopic IHR is performed faster by staff surgeons without residents and there was no difference in the complication rate when residents were involved.
Abstract
Laparoscopic IHR is performed faster by staff surgeons without residents. There was no difference in the complication rate when residents were involved. Teaching and mentoring residents in the OR for laparoscopic IHR is safe and laudable.

Reliable, valid information on patient presurgical risk factors, process of care during surgery, and 30-day morbidity and mortality rates is available for all major surgical procedures in the 123 VAMCs performing surgery in the Veterans Health Administration.
New England Journal of MedicineVariation in Hospital Mortality Associated with Inpatient Surgery
1,442 Citations2009Amir A. Ghaferi, John D. Birkmeyer +1 more
Reducing mortality associated with inpatient surgery will require greater attention to the timely recognition and management of complications once they occur, and differences in rates of death among patients with major complications were also the primary determinant of variation in overall mortality with individual operations.
New England Journal of MedicineOpen Mesh versus Laparoscopic Mesh Repair of Inguinal Hernia
1,083 Citations2004Leigh Neumayer, Anita Giobbie‐Hurder +6 more
The open technique is superior to the laparoscopic technique for mesh repair of primary hernias and rates of recurrence after repair of recurrent hernia were similar in the two groups.
The American Journal of SurgeryThe financial impact of teaching surgical residents in the operating room
801 Citations1999Matthew Bridges, Daniel L. Diamond
The annual cost of training surgical residents in the operating room is $53 million, which suggests the need for digital skills, selection criteria, the development of training curriculum and resource facilities, the pre-operating room need for suturing and stapling techniques, and perhaps the acquisition of virtual surgery training modules.

Economic evaluation of groin hernia surgery demonstrates that the most important component of cost effectiveness is the aggregate time the patient spends in the operating room, recovery room, and the length of his or her overall stay in the facility.

Surgical trainees' participation in common surgical procedures is associated with an increase in total operative time, with no difference between trainee seniority levels, which may be significant in assessing the impact of residency training programs on hospital efficiency.
