Abstract
Introduction: This study aimed to analyze the European Hernia Society Quality of Life (EHS-QoL) in abdominal wall reconstruction by comparing preoperative scores with those at 1 and 2 postoperative years.
Methods: Data from 105 patients with complex incisional hernias were collected preoperatively and at 1 and 2 years postoperatively. Statistical analyses included three ART ANOVA models to compare scores among the three time points and within each time point's items.
Results: The EHS score significantly decreased from preoperative (Mdn = 57) to 1 year (Mdn = 10.5) and 2 years postoperative (Mdn = 8). The most significant changes occurred between preoperative and 1-year measurements, particularly in pain levels during activities and limitations in heavy labor and activities outside the home.
Conclusion: Patients' quality of life notably improved at 1 year post-surgery, with some reaching near-maximum levels, and this improvement was generally sustained or increased at 2 years post-surgery.
