Combined transurethral resection of prostate and inguinal mesh hernioplasty

Abstract: We aimed to evaluate the difference among early post-operative morbidities of transurethral resection of prostate (TURP), inguinal herniorrhaphy and their combination in this study. Between 1998 and 2004, 44 patients undergoing combined inguinal herniorrhaphy and TURP (Group I) were compared with 50 consecutive cases of TURP alone (Group II) and 50 consecutive cases of inguinal herniorrhaphy alone (Group III). There were no differences in the mean age and mean prostatic volume between Group I and II. The mean … Show more

“…The prevalence of inguinal hernia in men undergoing prostate surgery is 12%–23%, whereas 12%–25% of patients undergoing hernioplasty have the symptoms of BPH. [ 7 8 9 ] Age-related muscular degeneration and increased intra-abdominal pressure secondary to BOO due to BPH may precipitate hernias.…”

“…It is estimated that straining during urination coupled with a chronic increase in intra-abdominal pressure is the leading cause of inguinal hernia. The weakening of the inguinal canal wall also increases with age, a risk factor for hernias [4].…”

“…Combining these two procedures under a single session has many advantages like patient satisfaction, decreased duration of hospital stay, quicker recovery and reduced overall hospital costs. 16 There are certain studies that suggest an increase in the rate of wound infection following this combined procedure. But, with the advent of trans-urethral resection of prostate (TURP), this has drastically reduced.…”

“…3 Many symptom severity scores are being used in the evaluation of lower urinary tract symptoms that occur due to BPH. The most frequently used is the International Prostate Symptom Score (IPSS) by which the symptoms are classified as mild (score: 0-7), moderate (score: [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19], or severe (score: 20-35). 3,4 The occurrence of both inguinal hernia and benign prostatic hyperplasia with lower urinary tract symptoms increases with age.…”
