PURPOSE: Chronic pain and discomfort are common before and after inguinal hernia repair (IHR) and pain is clearly linked to reduced quality of life (QoL). The long-term effect of IHR on QoL in relation to preoperative symptoms is incompletely described.
METHODS: 309 men (18-75 years) undergoing IHR under local anesthesia and day care surgery were included. Pre- and postoperative symptoms, pain and QoL (SF-36) were measured before and up to 3 years after surgery.
RESULTS: Before surgery, 197 patients (64%) reported pain (VAS 0.9-5.4) from their inguinal hernia. 102 patients (33%) had other inguinal symptoms, and 26% were asymptomatic. Patients with preoperative groin pain (P) scored their physical QoL (PCS) lower compared with controls (C) (median (IQR) 43.5 (34.7-50.3) vs. 53.9 (47.8-56.9, p < 0.001)), whereas patients with no pain (N) did not (53.0 (47.9-55.9), p = 0.57). Mental QoL was not affected before or after surgery. At 1, 2 and 3 years after surgery, 14, 12 and 7% of patients, respectively, reported groin pain. In P, PCS increased from 43.5 before surgery to 55.3 (p < 0.001) at 36 months, but was unchanged in N (53.0 vs 55.9, p = ns).
CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of inguinal pain decreases over time after inguinal hernia repair. Both preoperative reduction and long-term improvement in physical QoL are strongly associated with the presence of preoperative groin pain. This supports, from a QoL perspective, that patients with preoperative pain are those who benefit the most from IHR, also from a long-term perspective.
