About this study

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.

Who can participate

Healthy volunteers accepted: No

Only the study team can determine whether someone qualifies for participation.

Inclusion criteria

  • Unilateral inguinal hernia

Exclusion criteria

  • Contralateral hernia repair history
  • Recurrent inguinal hernia
  • Incarceration or strangulation
  • Bilateral inguinal hernia
  • Severe congestive heart failure
  • Severe hypertension
  • Rheumatoid arthritis
  • Systemic or neurologic diseases altering lower extremity functions

Treatment and study plan

Stoppa inguinal hernia repair

Procedure

Stoppa inguinal hernia repair

Total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair

Procedure

Total extraperitoneal inguinal hernia repair

Primary outcomes

  1. Functional loss in lower extremity muscles

    Time frame: postoperative day 3

    Physical activity parameters (isokinetic and isometric values) of the lower extremity muscular functions were measured with a dynamometer.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Duration of hospital stay

    Time frame: From time of admission to time of discharge an approximate length of three days

  2. Postoperative pain score

    Time frame: Postoperative 12 hour

    Visual analog score assessment of post operative pain

  3. Recurrence rate

    Time frame: Postoperative 4 months

    Number of patients with recurrence

  4. Complications

    Time frame: Postoperative 1 month

    Complications like infection, seroma, hematoma, abscess, wound healing problems and urinary retension.
