Patients are called for routine follow-up after 7 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year and yearly
thereafter. If patients do not physically attend their follow-up date, attempt is made to contact them
telephonically. During follow-up visits, patients’ complaints, if any, are noted and physical examination is
done. Any suspicious bulge at the site of the previous lesion is investigated with an ultrasonography scan.
Chronic pain was defined as pain persisting at operative site beyond 6 months for which the patient needs
to consume analgesic for relief.
