Abstract
Inguinal hernia is one of the most common surgical pathologies. With all the variety of hernioplasty methods available in the surgeon’s arsenal, the ideal method of operation has not yet been invented. Modern trends force us to evaluate surgical methods of treatment from a new perspective – the postoperative quality of life of the patient. The purpose of the study: to evaluate the effectiveness of the Lichtenstein operation and total extraperitoneal plasty for inguinal hernias through the prism of the long-term postoperative quality of life of the patients. 429 completed questionnaires for assessing the quality of life of men SF-36 (The Short Form-36) were received and studied. Of these, n1 = 80 had an inguinal hernia and needed elective surgery, n2 = 288 did not have a hernia defect (conditionally healthy); within 3–6 months after hernioplasty (using the Lichtenstein method or total extraperitoneal plasty), 61 patients were re-questioned. The results of the analysis showed that men with inguinal hernias had a significant decrease in the psychological component of health compared to apparently healthy individuals; 3–6 months after the operation, the physical component of health became significantly higher (p < 0.001) and did not depend on the type of hernioplasty.
