Abstract (1538 Views)
Aims: A surgical procedure called a hernioplasty is used to repair an inguinal hernia. Nevertheless, some potential side effects could impair the patient's quality of life. This study aimed to evaluate the rate of chronic groin pain and its impact on the quality of life among patients who have undergone hernioplasty for an inguinal hernia.
Instrument & Methods: This case-series study was conducted in the General Surgery Clinics of Alkarama Teaching Hospital in Kut, Iraq, from January 2023 to May 2024. One hundred forty-seven patients who accepted the invitation were chosen for the study. The SF-36 quality-of-life assessment scale was used to measure and assess the quality-of-life following hernioplasty. SPSS 27 software was used to analyze the collected data with ANOVA and unpaired t-test.
Findings: The Hemoglobin mean was 10.6±2.6g/dL, the White Blood Cells mean was 45.0±1.2U/L, the PT mean was 11.4±2.3sec, and the PTT mean was 12.3±4.1sec. The most satisfied quality-of-life parameters were vitality, and hyperesthesia was the most common symptom of post-hernioplasty (n=112). There were significant correlations between age and all quality-of-life parameters, while gender significantly correlated to all quality-of-life parameters except vitality. The type of job was strongly correlated with all quality-of-life parameters. Job type had significant correlations with all symptoms of post-hernioplasty, while gender and age significantly correlated only with neuralgia.
Conclusion: Patients generally experience a high degree of quality of life after hernioplasty, with a reduction in symptom severity, including chronic pain.
