Clinical and systemic determinants of hospital length of stay and minimally invasive training exposure in elective inguinal hernia repair: an inverse probability-weighted cohort study
Inguinal hernia repair (IHR) is a standardized procedure, yet variations in hospital length of stay (LOS) and adoption of minimally invasive techniques persist. This study evaluated whether systemic determinants, including reimbursement pathways and training paradigms, are associated with these practice variations....
