Abstract
To evaluate short and long-term outcomes of bilateral groin hernia (BGH) repair using an open preperitoneal approach (OPA) compared to minimally invasive surgery (MIS) in ambulatory surgery. A retrospective cohort study was conducted including patients undergoing ambulatory BGH repair between 2010 and 2018 at Vall d'Hebron University Hospital (Barcelona) using either OPA (a modified Wantz technique) or MIS [transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) or totally extraperitoneal (TEP)]. Demographic, perioperative, and postoperative data were analysed. Chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) was assessed at two time points: early (3-12 months) and late (.
