Inguinal hernia is a common disease not free of complications. In order to determine the prevalence of postoperative complications in patients with inguinal hernia; a quantitative, cross-sectional and descriptive study was carried out in a universe of 86 patients who underwent surgery for inguinal hernia in 2019; Mariano Pérez Balí General Hospital, Granma. The variables were evaluated: age, sex, type of inguinal hernia, laterality, surgical technique and verified complications. In a total of 86 patients with inguinal hernia the mean age was 53,81 years. Male sex represented 95,34 % of all patients, Nyhus type II hernias represented 46,24 %. Hernioplasty techniques were used to repair 54,84 % of all hernias repaired, particularly the Lichtenstein technique. The 66,66 % of the inguinal hernias undergoing surgical repair did not present complications while 11,83 % were acutely complicated with funiculitis. It isconcluded that the incidence of postoperative complications in inguinal hernia was high.
