Purpose of the study. To evaluate morphological changes in the testes in experimental animals after tension-free inguinal hernia repair modeling.Materials and methods. The study included male rabbits, aged 120 days, weighing 3.8 ± 0.9 kg. All rabbits were divided into two groups depending on the type of operation: in the first group (n = 10) of animals, we made a model of tension-free inguinal hernia repair and used a polypropylene mesh; in the second group (n = 10) of animals, we left the structures of the inguinal canal intact. Morphological assessment of spermatogenesis was performed after 40 days. All morphometric measurements were carried out on strictly cross-sections of the convoluted seminal tubules.Results. In rabbits of group 1, the volume of the testicle was significantly three times less than in animals of group 2 (p < 0.05). In the animals of the first group, a significant deterioration in spermatogenesis was observed (p < 0.05). Histological examination of sections of the testes of these animals showed that hypoplasia of the spermatogenic epithelium was present in the convoluted seminal tubules, in 1/8 of the tubules there was subtotal aplasia of the spermatogenic epithelium, Sertoli-Cell-Only Syndrome was detected only in 2 %. Atrophy of the convoluted seminal tubules was not recorded at this period of observation. In the animals of the control group, almost 90 % of cases of spermatogenesis disorders were not detected.Conclusions. This experimental study on rabbits showed that after using a polypropylene mesh for inguinal canal plastic, inhibition of germ cell maturation occurs after 1.5 months. Therefore, in men of reproductive age, it is necessary to use polypropylene mesh implants with caution in terms of performing inguinal hernia repair.

Introduction. Despite the modern development of surgery complications and relapses after the surgical treatment of children with a pathology of the vaginal process of the peritoneum continue to occur in the practice of the pediatric surgeon. The aim is to determine the causes of complications and relapses after the surgical treatment of children with the pathology of obliteration of the vaginal process of the peritoneum. Material and methods. The article presents the results of surgical treatment of 1818 children with the pathology of the vaginal process of the peritoneum, including 32 children with complications and relapses occurred after surgical interventions. Two clinical observations of children of 10 and 14 years were operated on for recurrence of an inguinal hernia and hydrocele are described. Results. The frequency of relapses or complications in the Research Institute of Emergency Pediatric Surgery and Traumatology after surgical treatment of children with inguinal hernias, hydrocele and cryptorchidism ranged from 1.5% to 2.3%. Conclusions. Non-adherence to surgical treatment causes recurrences and complications.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
