Recurrence and patient reported outcomes after simultaneous bilateral versus unilateral groin hernia repair: prospective nationwide cohort study

B-GHR is associated with an increased risk of chronic pain and patient dissatisfaction compared with U-GHR. Women and younger patients are particularly at risk, suggesting a more cautious approach to simultaneous B-GHR in routine practice, especially in the absence of clear symptoms, and highlighting the importance of watchful waiting.

Abstract

B-GHR is associated with an increased risk of chronic pain and patient dissatisfaction compared with U-GHR. Women and younger patients are particularly at risk, suggesting a more cautious approach to simultaneous B-GHR in routine practice, especially in the absence of clear symptoms, and highlighting the importance of watchful waiting.
