| Abstract |
Mild pain lasting for a few days is common following mesh inguinal hernia repair. In some patients however, severe groin pain may appear months or even years postoperatively. The aim of this study was to report our experience of late-onset persisting severe postoperative groin pain occurring years after mesh hernioplasty. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 07 November 2019.
All research outputs
#6,911,493
of 22,663,150 outputs
Outputs from Hernia
#310
of 1,099 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#26,988
of 81,802 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Hernia
#2
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,663,150 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,099 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.3. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 70% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 81,802 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 66% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has scored higher than 2 of them.
