ABSTRACT

Objective: To identify the herniosis (collagenosis) carrying patient, through the coexistence of other connective tissue pathologies, concomitantly with hernia, to be able to establish them, in the future, as predictive factors of recurrence and other complications; as well as to choose the appropriate surgery and establish recurrence probabilities and criteria for those other pathologies.
Setting: Specialized Center for the Treatment of Hernias, León, Gto. México.
Design: Prospective, longitudinal, and observational study.
Statistical analysis: Observational analysis expressed in percentages.
Material and methods: Forty-nine adults were operated for different types of hernia, searching for concurrent pathologies related to alterations of the connective tissue (collagenosis), familial antecedents of hernias, and smoking habit of the patient.
Results: Thirty-four (69%) patients had diseases related with herniosis (collagenosis). Diagnoses: hemorroids, 5; hiatal hernia, 5; varicose pelvic members, 5; colon diverticulosis, 4; vesicular litiasis, 3; epididymal cysts, 3; renal cysts, 2; ovarian cysts, 3; pulmonary emphysema, 3; hepatic polycystosis, 1; aortic aneurysm, 1; lipomatosis, 2; cutaneous grooves, 2; round ligament cyst, 1; joint laxity, 1. Three patients had four pathologies, seven had three, seven had two, and twenty had one. Positive for smoking were 28 (58%). Familial antecedents of hernias were found in 67%.
Conclusions: These findings establish a strong clinical correlation of hernia with other diseases related to herniosis, hence, they could be considered as predictive tools for recurrences and/or complications.
