    Endosurgical herniotomy preserves male reproductive function, unlike standard surgery which can cause testicular damage and hormonal imbalances. This study highlights the benefits of minimally invasive techniques for better patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Andrology
    • Surgical Innovation

    Background:

    • Herniotomy is a common surgical procedure.
    • Standard herniotomy may lead to complications affecting male reproductive health.
    • Minimally invasive techniques are increasingly explored for surgical procedures.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the reproductive function and treatment outcomes of standard versus endosurgical herniotomy.
    • To evaluate the impact of different surgical approaches on testicular microcirculation, hormonal levels, and sperm quality.

    Main Methods:

    • Analysis of 59 male patients (aged 17-32) undergoing either standard (28) or endosurgical (31) herniotomy.
    • Comparison with a control group of 30 healthy males.
    • 6-month follow-up assessing complications, testicular blood flow, hormonal levels, spermogram, and cremasteric reflex.

    Main Results:

    • Endosurgical herniotomy showed no significant complications (hydroscheocele, hydrocele, testicular atrophy, diminished blood flow).
    • Reproductive parameters (ejaculate, sex hormones, cremasteric reflex) remained intact after endosurgical intervention.
    • Standard herniotomy resulted in microcirculation defects, testicular atrophy (25%), reduced testicular circulation (2.2-2.5 fold), impaired spermogram, and lower testosterone levels.

    Conclusions:

    • Endosurgical herniotomy is a safer alternative, preserving male reproductive function.
    • Standard herniotomy carries a significant risk of reproductive complications and hormonal disturbances.
    • Minimally invasive approaches offer superior outcomes for patients undergoing herniotomy.
