Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* primary inguinal hernia operated between 2008-2013 at the Tartu University Hospital
* elective surgery
* age at least 18 years old at the time of the operation
* ability to understand the guidelines and willing to participate in the study

Exclusion Criteria

* recurrent hernia
* strangulated hernia
* age under 18 years at the time of surgery
* does not agree to participate in the study
* does not understand the guidelines. Regarding the last exclusion criterion: since it is an assessment of the remote results of the treatment and probably relatively many of the subjects are very elderly, it may happen that when contacting the patient by phone it turns out that the patient is no longer adequate to make a decision about participating in the study or to answer questions (experienced cerebral infarction, dementia, etc. .) - in this case, the patient is not invited to the appointment.
