Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1. To compare post-operative pain scores using the visual analogue scale (VAS) score 2.To evaluate early quality of life scores using European Registry of Abdominal Wall Hernias Quality of Life (EuraHS-QoL)Timepoint: early (6hours, 24 hours and at discharge) and late (3 to 6 months)	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
1. To compare total post operative analgesics dose 2. To conduct a cost-effectiveness analysis comparing the direct medical costs associated with each surgical technique over the study period, including cost of equipments, procedural costs, hospitalization costs, and costs of managing postoperative complications. 3. To evaluate surgical outcomes (operative time, conversion, length of hospital stay and complications)Timepoint: early (6hours, 24 hours and at discharge) and late (3 to 6 months)	—
