    TITLE: LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP OF PATIENTS WITH HERNIA USING THE HERNIA-SPECIFIC QUALITY-OF-LIFE MOBILE APP: FEASIBILITY QUESTIONNAIRE STUDY. THE AIM OF THIS STUDY WAS TO EXAMINE THE USE OF A MOBILE APP FOR THE LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP OF HERNIA RECURRENCE, COMPLICATION, AND QUALITY-OF-LIFE PERCEPTION. BETWEEN APRIL 1, 2016, AND MARCH 31, 2017, 2615 PATIENTS WHO HAD THEIR HERNIA REPAIRED WERE INVITED TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDY. AMONG THEM, 2245 WERE MALE AND 370 WERE FEMALE. THE MEAN AGE WAS 60 (SD 15) YEARS (MEDIAN 62; RANGE 18-95 YEARS). THERE WERE 311 PATIENTS WHO FOLLOWED THE INSTRUCTIONS, WITH SUCCESSFUL LOG-ON, AND COMPLETED THE HERQL SURVEY. THERE WERE 93 ABDOMINAL WALL (IE, INCISIONAL AND VENTRAL) HERNIAS, 202GROIN HERNIAS, AND 16 PATIENTS HAD BOTH. THE EARLIEST HERNIA REPAIR TOOK PLACE MORE THAN 13 YEARS AGO (MEAN 5.5, SD2.7 YEARS; MEDIAN 5.4, RANGE 1-13.6 YEARS). MOST RESPONDERS WERE WITHIN 5 YEARS OF HERNIA REPAIRS. PROLENE HERNIA SYSTEM (ETHICON) OR ULTRAPRO HERNIA SYSTEM (ETHICON) WERE USED TO TREAT 57 PATIENTS WITH GROIN HERNIA AND 11 PATIENTS WITH ABDOMINAL HERNIA. THE REST OF THE PATIENTS WERE TREATED WITH COMPETITORS MESH (BRANDS: COMPOSIX OR VENTRIO, KUGEL OR MODIFIED KUGEL, PARIETEX, MESH PLUG), LAPARASCOPY, AND OTHERS. THE REPORTED COMPLICATIONS INCLUDED PAIN (N=?), FOREIGN BODY SENSATION (N=?), DISCOMFORT (N=?), COMPROMISED FUNCTIONALITY (N=?), AND HERNIA RECURRENCE (N=1). IN CONCLUSION, THE MOBILE APP HAS THE POTENTIAL TO ENHANCE THE QUALITY OF CARE FOR PATIENTS WITH HERNIA AND FACILITATE OUTCOMES RESEARCH WITH MORE COMPLETE FOLLOW-UP.
