Hernia, Inguinal
Conditions
Brief summary
Comparison of physical activity parameters of the lower extremity muscles in patients who received total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) and STOPPA repair.
Detailed description
The patients were evaluated during the preoperative period and in the postoperative day 3, to achieve an isometric and isokinetic, objective assessment of the pain-related lower extremity muscular function changes.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Functional loss in lower extremity muscles | postoperative day 3 | Physical activity parameters (isokinetic and isometric values) of the lower extremity muscular functions were measured with a dynamometer. |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Duration of hospital stay | From time of admission to time of discharge an approximate length of three days | — |
| Postoperative pain score | Postoperative 12 hour | Visual analog score assessment of post operative pain |
| Recurrence rate | Postoperative 4 months | Number of patients with recurrence |
| Complications | Postoperative 1 month | Complications like infection, seroma, hematoma, abscess, wound healing problems and urinary retension. |
