¹Referes to LVHR when OVHR is excluded;

²Referes male;

³Referes age > 60;

⁴Referes BMI > 30; Only significant values (P < 0.05) are presented. (1) Pain after LVHR and OVHR relative to gender, age, BMI, COPD. Adjusted for recurrence; and (2) pain after LVHR and OVHR relative to no clinical recurrence Factors adjusted for: Gender age, BMI, COPD, clinical recurrence. OVHR: Open mesh repair; LVHR: Laparoscopic mesh repair; COPD: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; BMI: Body mass index.
