OC-046 SURGICAL ASPECTS AND EARLY MORBIDITY OF RECURRENT INGUINAL HERNIAS DURING OPEN REOPERATION

Abstract Background Inguinal hernia recurrences (IHR) are relatively common and have higher complexity complication risk at reoperation when compared with primary inguinal hernias (PIH). This study aims to further characterize the patterns of recurrence early complications observed by type repair index surgery. Methods After REB approval, a review charts from patients undergoing elective first for IHR 2013–2017 was performed. First operations were classified as: childhood repair, laparoscopic open tissue mesh Shouldice repair. Early included hematoma, infection seroma. Statistical analyses completed. Results A total 1281 underwent 1340 surgeries in period (4.9% all operated). There wa an increased proportion males, direct wound group (p<.001) PIH repairs. During surgical procedure, length surgery longer, scarring tissues heavier, nerve identification lower previous repairs, comparison other groups (childhood, - p<.001). Conclusion Recurrent repairs present than incurr chances postoperative complications. The technique influences difficulties encountered reoperation, techniques being associated difficulty. information may help planning, according anticipated leverl procedure
