    Journal: Zhonghua Nan Ke Xue; 2004 Feb; 10(2):119-21. PubMed ID: 15027186.
    Abstract:
    OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of simultaneous open prostatectomy and preperitoneal inguinal herniorrhaphy. METHODS: Twenty-one patients with benign prostatic hyperplasia(BPH) and inguinal hernia, underwent simultaneous suprapubic or retropubic prostatectomy and preperitoneal inguinal herniorrhaphy through Pfannenstiel's incision. In 4 cases with bigger inguinal mass, hernia repair was performed with polypropylene meshwork (PPM). RESULTS: The 21 patients were followed up for 6 months to 7 years. There were 2 cases of recurrence (9.5%), with no morbidity and mortality in the other 19 cases. CONCLUSIONS: Open prostatectomy and preperitoneal inguinal herniorrhaphy can be performed during the same session without increasing infection and recurrence. The operation method is simple and the effect is positive, especially for older men.
