简要总结
n the Sint Jansdal Hospital in Harderwijk, the Netherlands, the TREPP technique is the standard operating procedure for patients with inguinal hernia. Starting from 2006, this procedure has also been used on patients that presented with an acute strangulated inguinal hernia in the emergency department, instead of the more common Lichtenstein technique. The goal of this retrospective case series is to assess the feasibility of the TREPP technique in case of an acute strangulated inguinal hernia. Patient records from 2006 until 2016 will be used to search for patients treated for acute inguinal hernia in that period. After applying the in- and exclusion criteria, patients who are eligible for inclusion will be contacted by telephone. They will be asked if they are willing to visit the surgical outpatient department once and fill out two questionnaires. The data of these questionnaires will be analyzed and published.

结局指标
主要结局
Recurrence rate
时间窗: From surgery date up to 12 years postoperatively
Patient electronic records will be searched for re-operations for recurrent inguinal hernia. Also, patients will be asked in the outpatient department if they received recurrence surgery or suffer new complaints.
Chronic postoperative inguinal pain according to Visual Analog Scale
时间窗: From surgery date up to 12 years postoperatively
Patients will be asked to fill out the VAS on a horizontal line of 10 millimeters long. Patients will be asked to mark the point that indicated the amount of pain they experience. The distance from the left marker will be measured, with increasing distance at greater pain intensity.
次要结局
- Short-term complications(Complications occuring from the start of the operation up to 30 days postoperative)
- Sexual complaints related to e-TREPP(Between >30 days postoperatively and through study completion, average 6 years)
