Design outcomes

Primary

Measure	Time frame
1- Operative Time: Measured from skin incision to skin closure (minutes). Recorded by the surgical nurse. 2- Pain Scores: Assessed using a visual analog scale (VAS) up to 1 month postoperatively. Administered by blinded outcome assessors. 3- Recurrence Rate: Assessed clinically by physical examination at 6 and 12 months. Radiological confirmation (ultrasound or CT scan) will be obtained if recurrence is suspected.	—

Measure	Time frame
1- Hospital Stay: Number of days from admission to discharge. 2- Return to Work/Normal Activity: Number of days until the patient reports being able to resume their usual activities. 3- Cost Analysis: Direct costs (sutures), operative time, hospital stay, and management of complications will be included in the analysis. 4-Complications:- - intraoperative: Vascular/visceral injury, peritoneal breach in TEP (recorded by the surgeon) - Postoperative: Seroma, hematoma, urinary retention, wound infection (assessed by blinded outcome assessors during follow-up visits)	—
