    Notizen: Summary Background The 14 day results of this study reported elsewhere demonstrated that the Perfix® plug-and-patch was as effective as the Lichtenstein patch but not as cost-effective. The present analysis looks at the results at one year to measure quality of life between the two groups. Patients and Methods 141 patients were randomly allocated in a doubleblind manner to receive either a Lichtenstein patch (patch) or a Perfix® plug- and-patch (plug-and-patch) for primary inguinal hernia. Quality of life at 6 months and one year was assessed by the short-form 36 (SF36). On a 3 point scale patients were asked at one year to rate groin, wound and testicular discomfort. Results Physical function by SF36 was similar in the 2 groups at 6 months, but at one year in the patch group (95.11 +/-20.07) was significantly better (p 〈 0.05) than physical function in the plug-and-patch group (82.5 ± 20.98). At one year the number of patients with wound discomfort limiting work or social activities was significantly greater in patients receiving the plug-and-patch (n = 12) compared with patients receiving the patch (n = 4), p 〈 0.031. At one year, 4 of 70 patients receiving the plug-and-patch had required reoperation to remove the preformed plug-and-patch device and replace it with a flat Lichtenstein patch, because of wound pain which was limiting activity. Conclusion A significant proportion of patients suffer chronic pain after placement of a Perfix® plug-and-patch for primary inguinal hernia repair. Removal of the Perfix® device is required in approximately i in 20 patients (5.6% in this series).

    Notizen: Abstract Current quality of life measuring tools are suited for economic decision making, not to investigate causal processes which lead to patients making evaluations of their lives. An alternative approach is presented based on research into positive versus negative life-satisfaction. Quality of life is a causal sequence of psychological states where perceived symptoms cause problems and the problems and symptoms cause evaluations, and where the causal sequence is a complex interaction between morbidity and psychological factors. Different types of medical intervention affect different stages in the causal sequence and so different types of quality of life instrument are needed for different kinds of medical research.
