Brief Summary
This research is intended to be a pilot study to identify differences in outcomes for varied lifting and physical activity precautions following surgical repair of single-sided inguinal hernias. The researchers hypothesize that when given the autonomy to return to activity at the patient's discretion, convalescence will decrease in comparison to a control group given specific precautions to refrain from lifting and strenuous activity. Specific aims include differences in convalescence and surgical outcomes for each group, i.e. rates of complications, hernia recurrence, physical activity assessments pre and postop, and quality of life outcomes.
Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria: * Clinical diagnosis of unilateral inguinal hernia * Must be undergoing surgery * Must be able to consent Exclusion Criteria: * Bilateral inguinal hernia * Recurrent inguinal hernia * Surgery scheduled with additional concomitant procedures
