Open repair of incisional ventral abdominal hernias with mesh leads to long-term improvement in pain interference as measured by patient-reported outcomes

Abstract Background The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) was used to evaluate the effects of open incisional ventral hernia repair on hernia-related pain. Methods All patients who underwent elective repair of a primary or recurrent midline incisional hernia over a th...

Description
Summary:Abstract Background The Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) was used to evaluate the effects of open incisional ventral hernia repair on hernia-related pain. Methods All patients who underwent elective repair of a primary or recurrent midline incisional hernia over a three-year period completed PROMIS pain surveys, and rated their pain intensity on a visual analogue scale. A retrospective review of these patients was performed. Results 77 patients underwent midline incisional ventral hernia repair and completed pre-operative and post-operative surveys. 38 patients completed surveys at least 6 months after surgery. These patients demonstrated significant improvement in pain interference post-operatively (p
