Overview
Brief Summary
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.
Detailed Description
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.

Eligibility Criteria
Inclusion Criteria
- •Patients undergoing TAPP for inguinal hernia for the first time
Exclusion Criteria

Outcomes
Primary Outcomes
postoperative pain
Time Frame: one month
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.
