Compliance with ethical strandards
:
: Line Lydeking, Niels Johansen, Jacob Oehlenschläger, Morten Bay-Nielsen, and Thue Bisgaard declare that they have no conflict of interest.
: The Danish Ethics Committee (VEK 4-3-2014-150) / (H-3-2014-150).
: All surgical procedures performed in the present study (Re-recurrence and pain 12 years after laparoscopic transabdominal preperitoneal (TAPP) or Lichtenstein’s repair for a recurrent inguinal hernia. A multi-centre single-blinded randomised clinical trial) involving human participants were in accordance with the Ethical standards of the national research committee and with the 1964 Helsinki declaration and its later amendments and comparable with the ethical standards. This study does not contain any studies with animals performed by any of the authors.
: The present study is based on inclusion of patients 12 years ago where informed consent was obtained. The study was never published due to logistic reasons. The present study is a follow-up study based on findings from the Danish Hernia Database and mailed questionnaires. Due to the long time gab, there is no more access to the informed consent which was kept by the at that time responsible author (died 6 years ago).
