About this study

The primary objective in this study was to compare postoperative pain between the TAPP group and the TEP group. The secondary objective was to compare operative time, intraoperative complications (bleeding, bowel injury, vascular injury), postoperative complications (hematoma, seroma, wound infection), length of hospital stay and recurrence rate with possible risk factors which include gender, age, BMI ,cord lipomas and location of the hernia.

Primary outcomes

  1. Postoperative pain

    Time frame: 6 months

    by use of visual analog scale (VAS) where (0) refereed to no pain and (10) refereed to the severest pain.

Secondary outcomes

  1. operative time

    Time frame: 6 months

    operative time by minutes was reported to get mean and standard deviation

  2. complications
