The most common symptom after an inguinal hernia is postoperative pain. According to the severity of the pain, the quality of life of the patient is also affected. There are many factors associated with postoperative pain. In this study, the results related to the factors affecting postoperative pain were investigated.
The most common symptom after an inguinal hernia is postoperative pain. According to the severity of the pain, the quality of life of the patient is also affected. There are many factors associated with postoperative pain. In the literature, there are factors whose relationship could not be determined clearly in the guidelines prepared for this. A meta-analysis showed that TAPP was associated with less chronic pain than open hernia repair. In another study, it was reported that hernia size and type were unrelated to pain. In the same study, the relationship between preoperative pain and postoperative pain was examined. Etele et al. reported that mesh fixation may increase pain. It is thought that the determination of these multiple predictive factors will both guide postoperative pain management and strengthen patient communication. As a result of the research, it is planned to obtain results related to the factors affecting the postoperative pain.

It is made through 3 holes, 10 mm optical port from the umbilicus, and 5 mm ports each from the right and left lower quadrants. The peritoneum is opened a few cm above the defect in the form of an arc. Dissection of the peritoneum, first lateral and then medial to the defect, is performed. It is continued until the pubic bone is found medially and the periphery of the bone is released. The dissection of the cord elements and the sac is completed. Posterior dissection is a very important step to avoid recurrence. Here, the peritoneum is thoroughly dissected posteriorly, the ductus deferens and vessels are removed from the peritoneum so that no recurrence occurs under the patch. 1-2 to the pubic tubercle, 3-5 to the upper edge of the patch, to the upper edge. Staples at the upper edge should remain above the iliopubic tract, no staples should be placed below. The patch is closed by overlapping the peritoneal leaves so that the patch is not visible.

postoperative pain
Factors associated with postoperative pain in patients undergoing transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair due to inguinal hernia will be investigated. A visual analogue scale (VAS) will be used for postoperative pain. Patients will use this scale to score from 0 (no pain) to 10 (worst possible pain) according to their pain status.
