Postoperative inguinal pain and disability after Lichtenstein versus ONSTEP hernia repair: analysis of responses to the inguinal pain questionnaire in Spanish

ConclusionsThe Spanish version of the IPQ measures postoperative inguinal pain adequately. Based on our findings, the ONSTEP technique was not superior to the Lichtenstein technique. The simplified version of the IPQ is not significantly different from the full version and it is easier to complete.Clinical trial registrationNCT04138329, registered on October 24, 2019.
