OBJECTIVE: to analyze data from patients hospitalized for unilateral inguinal hernioplasty in Brazil in the year before the COVID-19 pandemic, and during the period of the pandemic. METHODS: this is a descriptive study, using data referring to hospitalizations for the surgical procedure of unilateral inguinal hernioplasty in Brazil from March 2019 to February 2020, comparing with data from March 2020 to February 2021. Data were collected from the Hospital Information System (SIH/SUS) and the selected variables were: number of hospitalizations, average hospital stay rate and mortality rate. RESULTS: in all, 119,312 hospitalizations were performed for unilateral inguinal hernioplasty in Brazil from March 2019 to February 2020. During the pandemic period, 53,445 hospitalizations were recorded for this procedure. The average hospital stay increased compared to the previous year. The mortality rate recorded in the year before the pandemic was 0.11, while in the period of the pandemic, it was 0.20. CONCLUSION: It was observed that during the period of the COVID-19 pandemic in Brazil, the number of hospitalizations for unilateral inguinal hernioplasty was reduced by 55,21%. However, there was a significant increase in the mortality rate of this procedure. These results can be explained by the increase in mortality in patients infected with the SARS-CoV-2 virus, and also by the restriction of performing elective surgeries, prioritizing emergency situations, which are more complicated, and consequently, with higher mortality.

RESUMO Objetivo: analisar os dados dos pacientes internados para realização de hernioplastia inguinal unilateral no Brasil no ano anterior à pandemia de COVID-19, e durante o período da pandemia no país. Métodos: trata-se de um estudo descritivo, utilizando dados referentes às internações para realização do procedimento cirúrgico de hernioplastia inguinal unilateral no Brasil no período de março de 2019 a fevereiro de 2020, comparando com os dados de março de 2020 até fevereiro de 2021. Os dados foram coletados do Sistema de Informações Hospitalares (SIH/SUS) e as variáveis selecionadas foram: número de internações, taxa média de permanência hospitalar e taxa de mortalidade. Resultados: ao todo, foram realizadas 119.312 internações para realização de hernioplastia inguinal unilateral no Brasil no período de março de 2019 a fevereiro de 2020. Já durante o período de pandemia no país, foram registradas 53.445 internações para este procedimento. A média de permanência hospitalar aumentou em relação ao ano anterior. A taxa de mortalidade registrada no ano anterior à pandemia foi de 0,11, já no período da pandemia, foi de 0,20. Conclusão: foi observado que durante o período de pico da pandemia de COVID-19 no Brasil, o número de internações para realização de hernioplastia inguinal unilateral foi reduzido em 55,21%. Contudo, houve um aumento significativo da taxa de mortalidade desse procedimento. Esse resultado pode ser explicado pelo aumento da mortalidade em pacientes infectados pelo vírus SARS-CoV-2, e também pela restrição da realização de procedimentos cirúrgicos eletivos nesse período, priorizando quadros emergenciais, os quais são mais complicados, e consequentemente, com maior mortalidade.
