Purpose: Chronic postsurgical pain （CPSP） is a major issue associated with surgery. The primary aim of this study was to define the incidence of CPSP after inguinal hernia surgery. The secondary goals were to define risk factors for the development of CPSP. Methods: We performed a retrospective study analyzing inguinal hernia patients after surgery. We investigated the presence or absence of pain, the site of pain, and its intensity. Factors such as sex, age, time of surgery, days of hospital stay and the presence or absence of acute postsurgical pain on the first postoperative day were compared between patients with and without CPSP. Results: CPSP occurred in 15 out of 49 patients. The median numerical rating scale（ NRS）（ 0-10）, pain score for CPSP was 3 （1-8）. CPSP was significantly less in older patients. NRS score for the acute postsurgical pain of patients with CPSP was 3 （0-10）, but NRS score of patients who did not produce CPSP was 1 （0-7）. Conclusions: These results indicated that CPSP develops following approximately 30% of inguinal hernia surgery cases. It may be predicted by the intensity of acute postsurgical pain on the first postoperative day. |
