Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

Many patients undergoing inguinal hernia repair are prone to developing acute and chronic post-operative pain.

The aim of the study is to show a possible correlation between pain and acute phase proteins in order to:

* predict the severity of pain;
* select most suitable pain relief therapy for the patient.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The day after surgery, some serum markers are determined by a blood sample.

The markers analyzed are:

* Leukocytes;
* C-reactive protein (CRP);
* D-dimer;
* Fibrinogen;
* Neutrophil-to-Lymphocyte Ratio (NLR).

Pain level is assessed using the NRS scale at different times:

* 1st post-operative day;
* 7th post-operative day;
* One month after surgery;
* Three months after surgery;
* Six months after surgery.

Other data collected for the study are: gender, age, BMI.
