Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
The determination of recurrence rate in patients. Timepoint: 1, 4, 12, 24, and 48 weeks after surgery. Method of measurement: History and physical examination: The patient's complaint of symptom recurrence in appearance, as well as the examining physician's observation of a bulge in the area upon visual inspection, and the presence of a palpable hernia during manual examination. Additionally, the ultrasound report by the radiologist confirms the findings.;Determination of the frequency distribution of postoperative complications (postoperative pain, seroma, hematoma, wound infection, and numbness in the surgical area). Timepoint: 2 weeks after surgery. Method of measurement: physical examination.

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
Determination of the average length of hospital stay. Timepoint: Day of discharge. Method of measurement: Review of the patient's file and measurement of the time interval.;Determination of the average intensity of postoperative pain. Timepoint: On the first day after surgery and on the day of discharge. Method of measurement: History and physical examination (VAS scale): Moderate postoperative pain was defined as intermittent inguinal pain that does not interfere with daily activities, while severe pain was described as persistent groin pain that significantly disrupts daily activities.;Determination of the average time to return to daily life. Timepoint: 1, 4, and 12 weeks after surgery. Method of measurement: Questioning the patients.
