Quality of Life among Patients Underwent Repair for Uncomplicated Ventral Hernia
Journal Title: New Indian Journal of Surgery - Year 2017, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
Introduction: Ventral Hernias are second most common type of hernias accounting for 21 to 35% of all verities of hernias. The main danger of all forms of hernia is strangulation and hence need surgical intervention. Repair of ventral hernias can be technically challenging and a myriad of methods have been described. The most important distinctions in describing surgical management of ventral hernias are primary vs mesh repair and open vs laparoscopic repair. Mesh repair became the gold standard in elective management of most ventral hernias. Methodology: The cases are studied as per proforma attached and master chart is made for the cases studied to make the report brief. All cases were clinically diagnosed and all patients included in the study underwent surgery following preoperative investigation in the form of Hb%, BT, CT, FBS, PPBS, Blood urea, serum creatinine, urine for albumin, sugar and microscopy, ECG, chest X-ray. No other special investigations were required for any of the patients except patients who underwent ultrasound examination of the abdomen for ascites. Results: At the 2nd month of follow-up, there was not much difference in quality of life between the two groups. Significant difference was found in vitality (57.45 vs 54.78,p=0.07), and mental health (50.21 vs 47.37,p=0.06). Conclusion: Overall quality of life at the end of 1st month follow-up was good in laparoscopic group.
