Six patients with incomplete or unclear data were excluded, and the data of 59 patients were analysed. Percentage and frequency were used for discrete variables, whereas mean and standard deviation for continuous variables. Student’s t-test was used for independent variables according to the distribution status, whereas chi-square test was used for dichotomous variables, and the results for binary logistic regression were obtained. </span> </p> <p> </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height:150%;"> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;"> </span> </p> <p>  </p> <p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-right:1pt;text-align:justify;line-height:150%;"> <b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">Results </span> </b> <span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:150%;font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;">: Males were significantly more likely to have femoral hernia risk during old age [66.11years vs. 52.68 years (p=0.004), adjusted odds ratio (AOR): [0.87 (0.784, 0.969)(p= 0.011)].

In the binary multiple logistic regression for LOS value; In terms of gender, body mass index (BMI, kg/m2), age and complications; P value was found as 0.07 and ; AOR was found 2.2.
