Role of Python-Based Statistical Analysis in Comparing Polypropylene and Polyester Mesh Implants in Lichtenstein Hernia Repair: A Retrospective Comparative Cohort Study

In this retrospective analysis, we observed no significant short-term differences in outcomes between mesh types. However, these findings are limited by the study's retrospective design, small sample size, and baseline imbalances. The choice of mesh may continue to be based on the surgeon's experience, but larger randomized trials are needed for definitive conclusions.
