What this Trial Is About
Researchers are evaluating the risks and outcomes associated with different surgical methods for repairing groin, umbilical, and incisional hernias. This observational study analyzes data from the Kaliningrad Hernia Registry (KHR) to understand acute postoperative pain, complication rates, chronic postoperative pain, and recurrence rates based on surgical techniques, mesh types, and fixation materials. The study observes three types of hernia repair procedures: open non-mesh repair, open mesh repair using synthetic mesh secured with sutures or self-fixating mesh, and minimally invasive surgery (MIS) hernia repair with mesh fixed by tacks, no fixation, or self-fixation. These repairs are categorized by hernia location, including groin and femoral, umbilical, ventral, and incisional hernias. Participants' data from the KHR from January 2020 to December 2023 will be analyzed. The research team will measure chronic postoperative pain and its severity over one year and track hernia recurrence rates and patient treatment satisfaction over three years. This long-term follow-up aims to provide insights into the effectiveness and complications of various hernia repair methods.
