THE IMPACT OF OPEN INGUINAL HERNIA MESH REPAIR ON QUALITY OF LIFE

Abstract

Aims: This study aims to evaluate the effect of open inguinal hernia repair with mesh on the quality of life of the patients who
were operated at a university hospital. Methods: In this cohort study, 86 patients who had undergone an open inguinal hernia
repair at General Surgery Department in a university hospital between January 2017 and October 2019 were asked to fill out the
Carolinas Comfort Scale questionnaire and the data were analyzed retrospectively. Results: The total number of patients in the
study was 86. Seventy-three were male (84%) and 13 were female (16%). The median age was 53 years ranging from 18 to 82. The
difference of pre- and post-operative scores revealed high significance in all categories and in total; laying down, bending over,
sitting up, performing activities of daily life, coughing or deep breathing, walking or standing, walking up or down the stairs,
exercising and total score. Conclusion: Inguinal hernia decreases the quality of daily life by limiting the movements with groin
pain. Surgical low-tension repair with mesh improves the quality of life significantly. Keywords: Inguinal hernia, quality of life,
mesh repair
