Full description

The most common symptom after an inguinal hernia is postoperative pain. According to the severity of the pain, the quality of life of the patient is also affected. There are many factors associated with postoperative pain. In the literature, there are factors whose relationship could not be determined clearly in the guidelines prepared for this. A meta-analysis showed that TAPP was associated with less chronic pain than open hernia repair. In another study, it was reported that hernia size and type were unrelated to pain. In the same study, the relationship between preoperative pain and postoperative pain was examined. Etele et al. reported that mesh fixation may increase pain. It is thought that the determination of these multiple predictive factors will both guide postoperative pain management and strengthen patient communication. As a result of the research, it is planned to obtain results related to the factors affecting the postoperative pain.
