ABSTRACT

Objective: To demonstrate self-perception of patients regarding their quality of life before and after inguinal plasty in a third level health care hospital of the health sector, by means of the SF-36 health questionnaire.
Setting: Hospital General de México, Mexico City.
Design: Prospective, longitudinal, comparative and observational study.
Statistical analysis: Central tendency measures, Wilcoxon ranks tests and general linear model.
Patients and methods: We included 67 patients, in whom inguinal plasty was performed with the Lichtenstein technique between March 1st and May 31st 2012, applying the SF-36 questionnaire one day before and 3 months after surgery.
Results: The group consisted of 64 men and 3 women, average age of 44.73 (SD ± 13.2). Regardless of the type of hernia (Nythus classification), all patients perceived a significant improvement in their quality of life (p ‹0.05). Patients with less than 1 year with symptoms caused by the inguinal hernia did not perceive an improvement in the quality of life (p ›0.05). Those cases with more than 1 year with symptoms perceived a significant improvement in their quality of life (p ‹0.05).
Conclusions: Those patients with more than one year of evolution with the inguinal hernia were the ones to perceive the best improvement in their quality of life (SF-36) after surgery.
