Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Danish male patients who had undergone bilateral TAPP (July 2012 to June 2013) were recruited from the Danish Hernia Database and cross-checked with hospital files and the National Patient Registry. A standardized postal questionnaire was sent out two years after the index surgery to investigate Patients Related Outcome Measures (PROMs) such as chronic post-operative pain.
