Preoperative predictors of chronic pain after laparoendoscopic groin hernia repair: A Swedish Hernia Registry study.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) is a major adverse outcome of groin hernioplasty. Despite multiple CPIP studies, investigations involving unselected patients and sufficiently large cohorts to assess multiple predictors concurrently are still needed. This study evaluated the relative impact of preoperative predictors of CPIP after laparoendoscopic groin hernia repair. A secondary aim was to assess selection bias.

Methods

This population-based cohort study included unilateral laparoendoscopic repairs from a prospective CPIP project within the Swedish Hernia Registry, where all groin hernia repairs recorded between September 2012 and December 2018 were surveyed at 1 year postoperatively. Responses were analyzed using multivariable logistic regression to asses
