BACKGROUND & AIMS: Hernia is a very common surgical condition affecting all ages and both sexes. Data regarding abdominal wall hernias is essential to hernia management in an institution. With the absence of data regarding the prevalence, characteristics, and associations of abdominal wall hernias in Sudanese patients, we aimed to describe and find the possible differences in the spectrum of abdominal hernias, their rates, and associated predisposing factors.
This was a retrospective cross-sectional chart review of surgical patients admitted at a Sudanese tertiary teaching Hospital, Department of Surgery, from January 2019-December 2021. Data were collected from the medical records using a checklist. The data obtained included age, gender, occupation, chronic medical conditions, past medical history (PMH), and year of admission. Data were analyzed using SPSS 22.
Results showed that between January 2019 and December 2021, a total of 1158 patients were admitted to the department of surgery, and abdominal hernia had a frequency of 16.23% (n = 188). There was a male predominance (55.3%), ages below 20 years constituted the majority of cases (45.2%), and those between (50-60 years) were the least. The most frequent subtype was the inguinal hernia. The association between sociodemographic variables, PMH, chronic medical conditions, and the diagnosis was found to be statistically significant. The rate of recurrence was found to be 10.1%.
There was a high rate of abdominal Herniation, and a difference between subtypes of abdominal herniation regarding demographic data, past medical history, and comorbidities.
疝气是一种非常常见的外科疾病，影响所有年龄段和男女两性。机构中有关腹壁疝的数据对于疝气管理至关重要。由于缺乏苏丹患者腹壁疝的患病率、特征和相关性数据，我们旨在描述并找出腹壁疝谱、其发生率及相关易感因素的可能差异。
这是一项对2019年1月至2021年12月在苏丹一家三级教学医院外科住院的手术患者进行的回顾性横断面图表审查。使用清单从病历中收集数据。获得的数据包括年龄、性别、职业、慢性疾病、既往病史（PMH）和入院年份。使用SPSS 22进行数据分析。
结果显示，2019年1月至2021年12月期间，外科共收治1158例患者，腹壁疝的发生率为16.23%（n = 188）。男性占主导（55.3%），20岁以下的患者占大多数（45.2%），（50 - 60岁）之间的患者最少。最常见的亚型是腹股沟疝。发现社会人口统计学变量、PMH、慢性疾病与诊断之间的关联具有统计学意义。复发率为10.1%。
腹壁疝发生率较高，腹壁疝各亚型在人口统计学数据、既往病史和合并症方面存在差异。
