Area of Science:

  • Surgical Innovation
  • Patient Outcomes
  • Public Health Surveillance

Background:

  • Mesh has revolutionized groin hernia repair procedures.
  • Assessing current surgical methods and patient satisfaction in Scotland is crucial.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To survey groin hernia repair techniques used in Scotland.
  • To evaluate patient satisfaction following hernia repair surgery.

Main Methods:

  • A nationwide survey of groin hernia repairs in NHS Scotland from April 1998 to March 1999.
  • Utilized Short Form-36 (SF-36) questionnaire for patient-reported outcomes, including satisfaction and return to normal activity.

Main Results:

  • Open mesh repair was used in 85% of 5506 identified cases; laparoscopic repair in 4%.

  • Intraoperative complications were rare but significantly higher with laparoscopic or femoral hernia repairs.
  • High patient satisfaction (94%) was reported, though wound complications requiring district nurse intervention occurred in 10% of patients.

    • Conclusions:

    • Open mesh repair under general anesthesia is the standard for groin hernia repair in Scotland.
    • Despite frequent wound complications, patient satisfaction with open mesh repair remains high.
