Based on our finding of significantly impaired BRT in patients following right-sided Lichtenstein hernia repair, it seems wise to recommend that such patients refrain from driving for 2 weeks after surgery. No such impairment was found in patients following TEP surgery. Consequently, it is deemed safe for them to resume driving 2 days after the procedure.
