| Summary: | 碩士 === 國防醫學院 === 公共衛生學研究所 === 107 === Foreword: Inguinal hernia is one of the most common surgery in the world. Under the advancement of surgeons' concepts and techniques, the recurrence rate after inguinal hernia is declining, but recurrent inguinal hernia is still a common clinical problem. In the past, studies have also confirmed some of the risk factors for recurrent inguinal hernia such as smoking, chronic cough and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
OBJECTIVE: Past studies have confirmed that people with smoking have decline in lung function FEV1 of 60-90 cc, whereas diagnostic criteria for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease use FEV1, a clinically chronic cough patient, and the use of lung function for chronic cough differential diagnosis. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to understand the correlation between pulmonary function tests and recurrent inguinal hernia, and to investigate whether patients with worse lung function tests have higher risk of recurrence after hernia surgery.
METHODS: This study was designed as a retrospective cohort study for retrospective medical records in a regional teaching hospital in Taoyuan. It was found that patients who underwent inguinal hernia surgery from 2011 to 2018. and the Patients had pre-operative pulmonary function tests.To investigate whether the worse the lung function value (FEV1), the risk of recurrence after hemorrhoids is higher.
