Abstract

The aim of the work: to investigate the direct impact of comorbidities on the likelihood of recurrence of inguinal hernia.

Materials and Methods. A comprehensive examination of 31 patients who had undergone inpatient treatment for recurrence

inguinal hernias was conducted (type IV by L.M. Nyhus, 1993). Thus, as inguinal hernia (K40 according to ICD-10), was mainly found in people of working age to classify patients by age used the classification of UN experts for socio-economic and demographic calculations, and people were assigned to one of the groups, respectively: 15–24 years – early working age (n = 12); 25–54 years – the main working age (n = 19). During the current study, the timing of recurrence of inguinal hernia, the type of primary hernioplasty were determined. The distribution of patients by type of comorbidity was carried out according to ICD-10.

Results and Discussion. In patients aged ≥ 25 years, concomitant pathology was found to be unrelated to recurrence of inguinal hernia based on correlation analysis. In contrast, in patients aged <25 years, a strong positive association was found between comorbidities such as varicose veins of the lower extremities (0.89), gastroesophageal reflux disease (0.84), hemorrhoids (0.91), and joint hypermobility syndrome (0.78). The substantiation of these data should be considered the systemic connective tissue lesions in young people, which underlie the pathological changes of the above diseases and cause a high recurrence rate and short duration of its occurrence after primary hernioplasty (up to 5 years – 83.33 %).
