Level 1B	There is no evidence for an increase in recurrence risk due to physical strain (including heavy lifting) after groin hernia surgery irrespective of the method of surgery.
Level 3	Immediate return to work (within 1–3 days) is not associated with hernia recurrence.
	Immediate resumption of activity of daily living (ADL) (within 1–3 days) is not associated with hernia recurrence.
	Short convalescence is not associated with a higher recurrence risk, and some studies even show an inverse relation
