Articles addressing PPH and EH were then reviewed. The search included in English language. All randomised controlled comparative trials and patient samples of >/= 15 patients were considered for the meta-analysis. The primary endpoints assessed were pain and time taken to return to normal activity. Secondary endpoints were bleeding, complications and residual symptoms, recurrence rates and re-interventions PPH was associated with less postoperative pain, earlier return to normal activities compared with EH.
