Assessment of Risk Factors and Pain Management After Hernia Repair

Hernia repair is one of the most frequently performed surgical procedures globally. While techniques have improved, post-operative pain remains a significant challenge for both patients and clinicians. This study retrospectively analyzes data from 30 patients who underwent hernia repair, exploring the influence of demographic and clinical risk factors on pain outcomes. Key parameters included hernia type, surgical approach, age, gender, pain management modalities, and acute or chronic pain presence. Data were statistically analyzed using chi-square tests, ANOVA, and logistic regression. The findings revealed no statistically significant associations among the variables, but important clinical observations emerged. Visualization tools such as pie charts, histograms, and bar graphs were utilized to clarify distribution patterns. The study concludes by offering recommendations for optimized pain management strategies. It highlights the importance of personalized pain control and the need for larger prospective studies to validate these insights. Hernia occur when an organ or tissue protrudes through a weakened section of the abdominal wall. The most common types are inguinal, umbilical, femoral, and incisional hernia. Surgical intervention, whether via open or laparoscopic approach, remains the standard treatment. Despite these advancements, post-operative pain—both acute and chronic— continues to affect a significant proportion of patients, impacting recovery, quality of life, and healthcare resource utilization.
