Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| 1) To grade pain on first follow up/ ! month post Op. 2) To calculate the incidence of inguinodynia at 3 months 3)To check if there is a relation betwenn operative time and inguinodynia 4)To check if inguinodynia is significantly lesser in laparoscopic hernia repaircompared to open hernia repair. This study may suggest that something in the currently employed methods of groin hernia repair is associated with an increase in the post operative pain and it may provide a hypothesis for further investigations.Timepoint: 1.5 years | — |
