AIM: The aim of this study was to evaluate the short and long term results of inguinal hernia surgery and to detect factors effective on hernia recurrence. METHODS: In this retrospective study, 521 patients who had undergone inguinal hernia surgeries between 1993 and 2005 in a tertiary health center were re-contacted for questioning the short and long term outcomes. Preoperative and post operative fi ndings and short and long term outcomes along with the comparison of the recurrent and non recurrent hernias were evaluated. RESULTS: The mean age of the 521 patients was 52.24 (16–92), and 478 (%92) of them were male. The hernias were at the right side in 252 (48.3%) patients, left side in 193 (37%) patients, and bilateral in 76 (14.6%) patients. Recurrent and primary hernia numbers were 59 (9.9%) and 538 (90.1%), respectively. Intra-operative and post operative complications were observed in 13 and 30 patients, respectively. The presence of a recurrent hernia and an increase in body mass index were found to increase the rate of hernia recurrence (p<0.05). CONCLUSION: Previous recurrence of an existing hernia and higher body mass indexes are the risk factors for hernia recurrence.
