Overview

Brief Summary

The aim of the present prospective controlled study is to compare the trunk muscle strength, quality of life and neuropathic pain component after Lichtenstein and Kugel procedures.

Detailed Description

In this study patients underwent inguinal hernia repair will be evaluated for the effect of the surgical procedure on abdominal muscle strength.

Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

isokinetic muscle strength

Time Frame: 6 - 12 months

Trunk muscle strength measurement using the Biodex System 3Pro Multi-joint System Isokinetic dynamometer. Peak torque (PT) and PT-based agonist/antagonist ratios will be used to reveal strength imbalances.

Secondary Outcomes

  • quality of life assesment(6 -12 months)
