Abstract

Background: Hernia is a common pathology around the globe and is reported more frequently particularly inguinal hernia.

Aims: To identify the surgery of choice for the treatment of hernias by evaluating the required postoperative hospitalization time, as no other complications have been reported according to data from Mordovian Republic hospital.

Material and Methods: A retrospective cohort study involved 790 patients for the period 2017-2022 treated surgically for various types of hernia; inguinal hernia, umbilical hernia, spontaneously reduced strangulated post-operative ventral hernia, incarcerated post-operative ventral hernia, and hernia of the Lina Alba. The T-test was used for statistical analysis, and a one-way ANOVA test and Pearson correlation test were conducted using the Statistica program.

Results: The hospitalization period after Liechtenstein surgery is statistically less than Postemsky surgery (mean 6.88 days, 7.43 days, respectively, t value -2.29593, p<0.02) and laparoscopic surgery (mean 6.88 days, 8.19072 days, respectively, t value 4,206817, p<0,000031). At the same time, laparoscopic surgery has a shorter post-operative hospitalization than Postemsky surgery (t value -2.19326, p<0.02). According to the surgical approach, the patient’s post-operative hospitalization days differ (mean days: min. days; max. days, 7.50192: 0.00; 30.00). According to Postemsky (M ± m; 7.43262, ±0.167012), according to Martynov (M ± m; 8.37500, ±0.113440), according to Liechtenstein (M ± m; 6.88153, ±0.146845), according to Mayo (M ± m; 7.51282, ±0.280156), according to Bassini (M ± m; 8.77778, ± 2.379179), laparoscopically (M ± m; 8.19072, ± 0.268434), according to Sapezhko (M ± m; 8.25000, ± 1.380074), and another type of surgery (M ± m; 11.40000, ± 2.501999). Women (mean 8.525114 days) were hospitalized longer than men (mean 7.065371 days), t value 5.871044, p< 0.001. A statistically significant correlation has been found between age and postoperative hospitalization time (Pearson Rank Order Correlations r=0.215561, p <0.05).

Conclusion: The study shows that the Lichtenstein surgery is the surgery of choice in terms of hospitalization time after the surgery. Straight association between sex and age with postoperative hospitalization days.
