Comparison of physical activity parameters of the lower extremity muscles in patients who received total extraperitoneal repair (TEP) and STOPPA repair.
The patients were evaluated during the preoperative period and in the postoperative day 3, to achieve an isometric and isokinetic, objective assessment of the pain-related lower extremity muscular function changes.
