Clinical Trial: Impacts of Stoppa and Total Extraperitoneal Inguinal Hernia Repair on the Lower Extremity Muscular Functions

Study Status: Completed
Recruit Status: Completed
Study Type: Interventional

Official Title: Quantitative Assessment of the Impacts of Stoppa Repair and Total Extraperitoneal Repair on the Lower Extremity Muscular Functions in Cases of Unilateral Inguinal Hernia;

Brief Summary: Comparison of physical activity parameters of the lower extremity muscles in patients who received total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) and STOPPA repair.

Detailed Summary: 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.
Sponsor: Akdeniz University

Current Primary Outcome: 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.


Original Primary Outcome: Same as current

Current Secondary Outcome:

  • Duration of hospital stay [ Time Frame: From time of admission to time of discharge an approximate length of three days ]
  • Postoperative pain score [ Time Frame: Postoperative 12 hour ]
    Visual analog score assessment of post operative pain
  • Recurrence rate [ Time Frame: Postoperative 4 months ]
    Number of patients with recurrence
  • Complications [ Time Frame: Postoperative 1 month ]
    Complications like infection, seroma, hematoma, abscess, wound healing problems and urinary retension.


Original Secondary Outcome: Same as current
