Abstract
An inguinal hernia is a fairly common condition that occurs when a portion of intestine or fatty tissue extends through a weakness in the abdominal wall, resulting in pain and discomfort. In Brazil, the Unified Health System (SUS) is primarily responsible for the care of patients with inguinal hernia. Therefore, the present study aims to analyze the epidemiological profile of hospitalizations for inguinal hernia in the SUS from 2018 to 2022, based on secondary data available in the DATASUS database. We sought to produce an ecological, time series study. The information available on the platform is: age range, affected sex and ethnicity. In the years 2018 to 2022, 644,283 hospitalizations for inguinal hernia were carried out in the SUS. This total highlights the age range from 60 to 69 years old, which covers approximately 19.42% of all patients. Another relevant fact is the male predominance in these numbers, with 4 out of every 5 individuals hospitalized for inguinal hernia being men. Regarding ethnicity, 41.07% declared themselves mixed race. Based on the data obtained, we can conclude that inguinal hernia is a very prevalent condition in Brazil, especially among men aged 60 to 69 years.
