Quality of life indicators in patients after inguinal hernia repair

The article presents the results of analyzing the quality of life of 90 patients who were hospitalized from 2017 to 2023 after various methods of inguinal hernioplasty. The SF-36 questionnaire assessing 8 quality of life scales was used. Patients were divided into 4 groups according to the type of surgery. Total extraperitoneal plasty is an effective and minimally traumatic method providing high quality of life of patients after the operation. Lichtenstein operation and local tissue plasty are associated with more pronounced postoperative limitations and pain syndrome, which worsens the quality of life indicators.
