| Popis: | Groin hernias are rare in women compared to men. The proportion of women in the overall collective of operated groin hernias is between 8–12%. The rate of femoral hernias in women is higher than in men. Femoral hernias account for 3% of all primary groin hernias and 18% of all groin hernias in females. Very little is known about the influence of female gender and a femoral hernia on the outcome in groin hernia repair. For this retrospective analysis of prospectively collected data from the Herniamed Registry 347.054 primary elective unilateral groin hernia repairs were selected. 42.595 (12.3%) procedures have been performed in females. 10.265 (3%) patients had a femoral hernia. A multivariable analysis was undertaken to investigate the influence of confirmatory defined patient- and procedure-related characteristics on the perioperative outcome. A significantly favorable correlation was found between the total perioperative complication rate and female gender (OR =0.886; 0.844–0.931) p The risk of perioperative complications is lower in female compared to male groin hernia repair, but not in femoral hernias. |
