    3 month post-operative clinical follow-up

Secondary Outcomes (8)

  • Recurrence

    3, 12 and 36 months

  • Pain - VHPQ

    3, 12 and 36 months.

  • QoL - EORTC CR29

    3, 12 and 36 months.

  • QoL - EORTC C30

    3, 12 and 36 months.

  • Abdominal strength

    12 and 36 months.

  • +3 more secondary outcomes
