Determinant factors of pain after ambulatory inguinal herniorrhaphy: a multi-variate analysis

摘要: Pain is common after inguinal herniorrhaphy. The objective of our study was to evaluate the significance various clinical factors on level post-operative pain ambulatory Between January, 1996 and December, 1998, 239 hernia repair patients were recruited. Operative techniques included nylon darn (n=152), modified Bassini (n=56), prolene mesh hernioplasty (n=30). Linear analogue scores-ranging in value from o 10- assessed by telephone interviews first third days. Uni-variate multi-variate analyses performed identify significant independent determinant affecting severity pain. Clinical studied age, sex, operative technique, anatomy complication(s). By uni-variate analysis, age≤50 years indirect associated with a significantly higher score postoperative day 1. On 3, years, an reported score. Following herniorrhaphy, multiple regression analysis showed that age only predictive factor days 1 3. In conclusion, not affected surgical morbidity. Only had influence following Therefore, patient should be taken into consideration when prescribing analgesics.
