Patient demographic and clinical data, including body mass index (BMI), age, smoking status, duration of complaints, affected side, and categorized as having Gilbert, showed no significant differences between the two groups (Patient demographics/clinical data.Post-operative and operative dataBold values indicate statistical significance (P<0.05).Initial postoperative complication rates did not show significant differences between the CMD group (Group 1) and the MA group (Group 2). In Group 1, five patients experienced wound infection, compared to seven patients in Group 2. Conservative treatment was administered to all these patients with wound care and intravenous antibiotics. Seroma was observed in 4 patients in Group 1 and seven patients in Group 2, and all cases were successfully managed by aspiration using sterile techniques (Initial postoperative sequels.No statistically significant differences (P>0.05) between the groups.All patients were followed up at three-, six-, and twelve months post-surgery, although some patients were lost to follow-up over time. At twelve months, 129 patients in Group 1 and 128 in Group 2 remained in contact. Regarding late complications, only one patient experienced late wound infection six months after MA surgery. This patient, who had uncontrolled diabetes, was managed with pus drainage without mesh removal and was successfully treated with antibiotics. Recurrence occurred in three patients in Group 2, while no recurrences were observed in Group 1, demonstrating a statistically significant difference.In the study, the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) [VSA values during the initial and late postoperative period.The bolded values demonstrate statistical significance, with a significance level of P<0.05.
