“…This abdominal wall defect causes abdominal pain and, consequently, significantly affects people's quality of life and mood, interfering with their daily and occupational activities ( 3 ). Therefore, around 20 million people worldwide undergo surgery through various techniques to repair hernia defects ( 4 , 5 ). In this sense, research on inguinal hernia is necessary to obtain greater knowledge about the epidemiological aspects of the disease, as well as monitor and evaluate the efficacy and safety of health technologies aimed at its surgical management, and understand the evolution of techniques for surgical repair of hernia defects ( 5 ).…”

ObjectivesTo describe the bibliometric characteristics of the world scientific production in inguinal hernia surgery using the Web of Science Core Collection (WoS) database.Materials and methodsA search for original articles published in the WoS up to December 2021 was carried out. Bibliometric analysis was performed using the Bibliometrix data package in R and VOSviewer, version 1.6.17.ResultsA total of 3,795 articles were identified in the database, with an annual average of 81 published articles and sustained growth with the highest number of publications in 2021. The article “Wide Variation and Excessive Dosage of Opioid Prescriptions for Common General Surgical Procedures” published in 2017 was the most cited (517 citations). The United States was the country of the corresponding author with the highest number of published articles (725 articles). The author with the highest number of published articles was Rosenberg J., affiliated with the University of Copenhagen, with 52 articles and 765 citations. The journal “Hernia” had the highest number of articles published on inguinal hernias in the WoS, representing 18% of the total number of articles. Finally, the keywords most used were “herniorrhaphy” and “hernioplasty” in 2008, and more recently: “single incision” “society guidelines” and “single port”.ConclusionsThe scientific production of original articles on inguinal hernia surgery has increased. There is currently great interest in research on minimally invasive surgical methods and standardization of procedures based on clinical practice guidelines.

A hérnia inguinal é uma condição bastante comum que ocorre quando uma porção do intestino ou tecido adiposo se protrai através de uma fraqueza na parede abdominal, resultando em dor e desconforto. No Brasil, o Sistema Único de Saúde (SUS) é o principal responsável pelo atendimento dos pacientes com hérnia inguinal. Diante disso, o presente estudo tem como objetivo analisar o perfil epidemiológico das internações por hérnia inguinal no SUS no período de 2018 a 2022, com base em dados secundários disponíveis no banco de dados do DATASUS. Buscou-se produzir um estudo ecológico, de série temporal. As informações disponíveis pela plataforma são: faixa etária, sexo acometido e etnia. Nos anos de 2018 a 2022, 644.283 internações por hérnia inguinal foram realizadas no SUS. Desse total, destaca-se a faixa etária que vai dos 60 aos 69 anos, que abrange aproximadamente 19,42% de todos os pacientes. Outro dado relevante é o predomínio masculino nesses números, sendo 4 entre cada 5 indivíduos internados por hérnia inguinal homem. Em relação à etnia, 41,07% declararam-se pardo. Com base nos dados obtidos, pode-se concluir que a hérnia inguinal é uma condição bastante prevalente no Brasil, especialmente entre homens na faixa etária dos 60 aos 69 anos.

Background: Inguinal hernia repair (IHR) is a common surgical technique performed under regional block anesthesia (RBA). Although previous clinical trials have explored the effectiveness and safety of RBA for IHR, no systematic review has investigated its effectiveness and safety in adult patients with IHR.Methods: This systematic review searched electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, CNKI, Wangfang, and VIP) from their inception to July 1, 2022. We included all potential randomized controlled trials that focused on the effects and safety of RBA in adult patients with IHR. Outcomes included operative time, total rescue analgesics, numerical rating scale at 24 hours, occurrence rate of nausea and vomiting, and occurrence rate of urinary retention (ORUCR).Results: Five randomized controlled trials, involving 347 patients with IHR, were included in this study. Meta-analysis results showed that no significant differences were identified on operative time (MD = −0.20; fixed 95% confidence interval [CI], −3.87, 3.47; P = .92; I² = 0%), total rescue analgesics (MD = −8.90; fixed 95% CI, −20.36, 2.56; P = .13; I² = 28%), and occurrence rate of nausea and vomiting (MD = 0.39; fixed 95% CI, 0.13, 1.16; P = .09; I² = 0%) between 2 types of anesthesias. However, significant differences were detected in the numerical rating scale at 24 hours (MD = −1.53; random 95% CI, −2.35, −0.71; P < .001; I² = 75%) and ORUCR (MD = 0.20; fixed 95% CI, 0.05, 0.80; P = .02; I² = 0%) between the 2 management groups. Conclusion:The results of this study demonstrated that IHR patients with RBA benefit more from post-surgery pain relief at 24h and a decrease in the ORUCR than those with CSA.Abbreviations: CI = confidence interval, IH = inguinal hernia, IHR = inguinal hernia repair, MD = mean difference, NRS at 24 hours = numerical rating scale at 24 hours, NV = occurrence rate of nausea and vomiting, ORUCR = occurrence rate of urinary retention, OT = operative time, RBA = regional block anesthesia, RCTs = randomized controlled trials, SA = spinal anesthesia, TRA = total rescue analgesics.
