Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
Evaluation is made on the effectiveness of electrocautery, in which contralateral onset of inguinal hernia does not occur by electrocautery of the contralateral PPV 2,3 type.	—

Secondary

Measure	Time frame
Evaluate the safety of electrocautery, which enables safe onset of contralateral side of inguinal hernia by electrocautery of contralateral PPV 2,3type.	—
