What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Impact of absorbable sutures in inguinal hernia repair on hernia recurrence and post operative outcome

    Absorbable sutures efficacy will be assessed according to:severity of post surgical pain(using NRS-Numerical Rating Scale measure),hernia recurrence (assessed by physical examination during the follow-up period) and other post surgical complications such as nerve entrapment,hematoma and stich granuloma

    Measured: two years
