The average operative time for repair of a unilateral hernia was 20\u2009\u00b1\u20095\u2005min. Volume of surgical blood loss was 2\u20133\u2005ml. There was no damage to organs such as the liver or intestines, or to tissues such as the pericardium or the phrenic nerve. Patients were allowed a fluid diet 6\u20138\u2005h after surgery, and remained on bed rest until 16\u2005h after surgery. No postoperative complications occurred, and patients were discharged on postoperative Day 2 or 3. No symptoms or complications were noted during the 1\u201348 months of follow-up.
