Résumé
Incisional hernias are a frequent complication after abdominal surgeries. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of incisional hernia repair on health related quality of life. We prospectively recruited a sample of patients waiting for incisional hernia repairs in the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, Canada. Study participants self-report their pain, depression and overall quality of life using patient reported outcome measures EQ-5D, PHQ-9 and PEG as they were placed on the waitlist and 6 months after surgery. There were 87 patients who responded to both the pre and post-operative survey. The average wait for surgery was 20.3 weeks. Patients with poor baseline health pre-operatively had significant improvement in pain, depression and quality of life. Among patients with poorer baseline health who underwent surgery for incisional hernias, there was a significant benefit in depression, pain and overall quality of life.

BACKGROUND
Incisional hernias are a frequent complication after abdominal surgeries. The aim of this study is to investigate the impact of incisional hernia repair on health related quality of life.
METHODS
We prospectively recruited a sample of patients waiting for incisional hernia repairs in the Vancouver Coastal Health Authority, Canada. Study participants self-report their pain, depression and overall quality of life using patient reported outcome measures EQ-5D, PHQ-9 and PEG as they were placed on the waitlist and 6 months after surgery.
RESULTS
There were 87 patients who responded to both the pre and post-operative survey. The average wait for surgery was 20.3 weeks. Patients with poor baseline health pre-operatively had significant improvement in pain, depression and quality of life.
CONCLUSIONS
Among patients with poorer baseline health who underwent surgery for incisional hernias, there was a significant benefit in depression, pain and overall quality of life.
