Abstract
Purpose
Currently, Brazil does not have a registry of abdominal wall hernia surgeries. In this paper we describe the creation of HERNIACLINIC-QoL, that aims to fill this gap, and its preliminary results.
Methods
A RedCap form was developed to collect data on patients and surgeries for abdominal hernia repair in a private practice hospital. Data input errors were checked every 30 days, and a preliminary analysis of the database as a whole was carried out in 2024.
Results
We registered 554 patients (201 ventral, 227 inguinal and 103 for both hernias). The form needed corrections in the fields: preoperative data, hernia sizes and classifications, rectum diastasis and anesthesia type, ensuring completeness of data and simplifying the creation of statistical reports.
Conclusion
HERNIACLINIC-QoL may become a valuable tool for hernia care and research, as its use is expanded to include more surgeons and more patients.
