Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
To assess the preoperative outcome in terms of a) duration of procedure b) ergonomic parameters using Subjective Mental Effort Questionnaire(SMEQ) and Local Experienced Disability(LED) scale.Timepoint: BASELINE(AT THE TIME OF INTERVENTION/IMMEDIATELY AFTER INTERVENTION) duration of procedure will be recorded from time of initiating incision to skin closure. Ergonomic parameters will be assessed immediately after dewashing of primary surgeon from the procedure.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Post-operative painTimepoint: 24 hr and 1 month later;intra-operative complications incidence(peritoneal breach and vascular injury)Timepoint: immediate post-operatively;hospital stay in daysTimepoint: day of discharge;postoperative pain (VAS scale)Timepoint: immediately, 1 week, 1 month post-operatively;Sensation of meshTimepoint: immediately pot-operative and after 1 month
