1. Evaluation Schedule & Medication

Assessment: POD 1, POD 14 , and POD 30 .

Medication Management: Preoperative withdrawal follows the Safety Management Manual. Oral medications resume on POD 1.

2. Endpoints

Primary: Incidence of hemorrhagic complications within 30 days postoperatively.

Secondary: * Severity and distribution of hematoma.

BPI (Brief Pain Inventory) scores for pain/QOL.

Intraoperative blood loss and operative time.

Length of stay and readmission.

Other complications (SSI, seroma, mesh infection, recurrence, chronic pain) via Clavien-Dindo Classification.

3. Severity of Hemorrhagic Complications

(Modified Clavien-Dindo Classification)

Grade Definition
0 None
1A Bleeding/hematoma requiring observation only.
1B Bleeding/hematoma requiring intervention (analgesics, compression).
2 Bleeding/hematoma requiring medication (hemostatics, iron) or transfusion.
3 Bleeding/hematoma requiring surgical intervention (e.g., evacuation).
4. Distribution of Subcutaneous Hematoma

Defined by the area bounded by the inguinal ligament, ASIS, and rectus abdominis:

Grade 1: Within the area; non-palpable.

Grade 2: Within the area; palpable.

Grade 3: Extending beyond the area (e.g., to the scrotum or back).

5. Pain and QOL Assessment

The BPI questionnaire will be administered during bleeding assessments. Questionnaires are to be distributed and collected on the same day.
