Chronic pain after tension-free hernioplasty:A univariate analysis
Abstract：Objective To investigate the clinical factors and preventive measures related to chronic pain after tension-free hernioplasty. Methods The clinical data of 229 cases of tension-free hernioplasty performed from July 2011 to June 2013 in Department of General Surgery,the First Affiliated Hospital of China Medical University were analyzed retrospectively. Results Among 229 cases, the incidence rate of chronic pain after 1 year was 8.7%. The incision infection (χ2=3.048;P=0.048) , using of lightweight meshes(χ2=11.223;P=0.001)and preoperative pain(χ2=9.181;P=0.002) were correlated with chronic pain after tension-free hernioplasty. Cox regression analysis revealed preoperative pain as an independent risk factor of chronic pain (P=0.010) Conclusion The preoperative inguinal pain and postoperative incision infection are the risk factors of chronic pain after tension-free hernioplasty, while the using of lightweight meshes can reduce the incidence of chronic pain.
