Article Synopsis
- Traditional clinical research methods may be insufficient for addressing the complex issue of chronic pain following inguinal hernia repair, prompting a need for improved strategies.
- A clinical quality improvement initiative was implemented from April 2011 to June 2016, involving 93 patients who underwent various surgical techniques paired with new pre- and intra-operative measures aimed at enhancing pain relief outcomes.
- Results showed that nearly half of the patients reported significant improvement post-surgery, despite some complications and occurrences of new pain, indicating potential benefits of the CQI approach in managing chronic pain.
