“…Although it has been reported that open prostatectomy and inguinal hernia repair performed in one session provided satisfactory results, the rate of wound infections was 4-16% when open prostatectomy was combined with unilateral inguinal hernia repair and 25% when it was combined with bilateral inguinal hernia repair [4,7,8,14] . However, when TURP and inguinal hernia repair are performed within one session, the rate of wound infections is lower [9] .…”

“…Inguinal hernia and symptomatic BPH occur in about 30 and 40% of the men over 65 years old, respectively [2] . 15-25% of the patients who undergo surgical treatment for BPH have inguinal hernia, and 11-30% of the patients who undergo inguinal hernia repair have symptoms of prostatism [4][5][6] . Performing TURP and inguinal hernia repair in one session avoids the use of two anesthesia procedures.…”

“…However, anticipating the disappearance of adverse effects of BPH immediately after operation, many surgeons perform inguinal hernia repair during the same session. In fact, there have been a large number of studies on open prostatectomy and inguinal hernia repair in one session [4][5][6][7][8] . In recent years, open prostatectomy has been replaced by transurethral prostatectomy (TURP) which is considered a gold standard in the surgical treatment of BPH.…”

Introduction: We aimed at evaluating the outcomes of transurethral prostatectomy and inguinal hernia repair performed in a single session. Patients and Methods: Fifty-six patients (mean age 68 ± 8.3 years) in whom transurethral prostatectomy was performed combined with an inguinal hernia repair were included into the study. Type of anesthesia, technique of inguinal hernia repair, hospitalization time, and the complications encountered were recorded. Cost comparisons were made using the official price-lists of the Turkish Medical Assocation. All patients were asked whether they were satisfied with the outcome of both operations performed in one session. The data obtained from the patients who underwent both operations in one session were compared with those obtained from 56 patients who underwent transurethral prostatectomy only (control group). Statistical analysis was performed using the chi-square test corrected for continuity according to the Yates or the Fisher exact test. Results: The operations were performed in 19 patients under general, in 20 patients under epidural, and in 14 patients under spinal anesthesia. Three patients were given general anesthesia and spinal anesthesia combined. In 6 patients bilateral and in 50 patients unilateral hernia repair was performed. In 11 repairs, polyprolene mesh grafts were utilized; in 2 repairs, a laparoscopic method was used, and in the remaining 49 repairs, one of the conventional techniques (McVay, Bassini, or Shouldice) was employed. There were no significant differences with regard to early and late postoperative complications and satisfaction between study group and control group (p > 0.05). Combined prostatectomy and hernia repair allows approximately 30% cost profit. Conclusions: Performing transurethral prostatectomy and inguinal hernia repair in one session decreased the number of the operations and anesthesias, hospital stay, and thus health costs and did not cause an increase in operative and postoperative morbidity.

Preperitoneal Prosthetic Mesh Hernioplasty During Radical Retropubic Prostatectomy

Simultaneous repair of inguinal hernias during radical retropubic prostatectomy is effective and technically feasible. There is convenient access to the preperitoneal space during radical retropubic prostatectomy and hernia repair adds only 5 to 10 minutes of operative time. Mesh repair appears to offer optimized results compared to the nonmesh technique. Despite the use of prosthetic material, no complications were attributable to its application during these genitourinary procedures.
