目的:我们旨在评估切口疝修补术后术后前30天的手术伤口并发症对患者长期生活质量的影响。此外,还将评估手术技术和术前合并症对患者生活质量的影响.
方法:前瞻性队列研究,该研究使用onlay和后肌技术评估了2019年至2020年间接受切口疝修补术的115例患者。这些患者最初在术后前30天评估手术伤口结果(手术部位感染(SSI)或手术部位发生(SSO))。然后,三年后评估,通过一份特定的生活质量问卷,疝相关生活质量调查(HerQLes)。
结果:一些患者在研究期间失去随访,由于死亡,接触困难,拒绝回答问卷,对80例患者进行了评估。其中,11例患者(13.8%)在术后前30天有SSI,37例(46.3%)有某种类型的SSO。未发现SSI和SSO对生活质量指数的影响。在分析其他变量时,我们观察到体重指数(BMI)对患者的生活质量有显著影响.同样,疝大小和网孔大小被确定为与较差生活质量结局相关的变量.在使用的手术技术方面没有观察到差异。
结论:在本研究中,使用HerQLes评分未发现手术伤口结局(SSO和SSI)与较差的生活质量结果之间的关系.我们观察到BMI以及网眼和疝气的大小与生活质量指数呈成反比关系。然而,应开展更多的研究评估术前生活质量指数,并将其与术后指标进行比较,以评估这些相关性。
OBJECTIVE: We aim to evaluate the impact of surgical wound complications in the first 30 postoperative days after incisional hernia repair on the long-term quality of life of patients. In addition, the impact of the surgical technique and preoperative comorbidities on the quality of life of patients will also be evaluated.
METHODS: Prospective cohort study, which evaluates 115 patients who underwent incisional hernioplasty between 2019 and 2020, using the onlay and retromuscular techniques. These patients were initially assessed with regard to surgical wound outcomes in the first 30 postoperative days (surgical site infection (SSI) or surgical site occurrence (SSO)), and then, assessed after three years, through a specific quality of life questionnaire, the Hernia Related Quality of Life Survey (HerQLes).
RESULTS: After some patients were lost to follow-up during the study period, due to death, difficulty in contact, refusal to respond to the questionnaire, eighty patients were evaluated. Of these, 11 patients (13.8%) had SSI in the first 30 postoperative days and 37 (46.3%) had some type of SSO. The impact of both SSI and SSO on quality of life indices was not identified. When analyzing others variables, we observed that the Body Mass Index (BMI) had a significant impact on the patients\' quality of life. Likewise, hernia size and mesh size were identified as variables related to a worse quality of life outcome. No difference was observed regarding the surgical techniques used.
CONCLUSIONS: In the present study, no relationship was identified between surgical wound outcomes (SSO and SSI) and worse quality of life results using the HerQLes score. We observed that both BMI and the size of meshes and hernias showed an inversely proportional relationship with quality of life indices. However, more studies evaluating preoperative quality of life indices and comparing them with postoperative indices should be carried out to evaluate these correlations.
