    Simultaneous open prostatectomy and inguinal herniorrhaphy in 18 patients showed favorable outcomes. This combined procedure resulted in a low wound infection rate and no recurrent hernias, suggesting its efficacy.

    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Oncology
    • General Surgery

    Background:

    • Open prostatectomy and inguinal herniorrhaphy are common surgical procedures.
    • Performing these procedures simultaneously presents unique challenges and potential benefits.
    • Previous literature on combined procedures is limited.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the outcomes of simultaneous open prostatectomy and inguinal herniorrhaphy.
    • To present patient selection criteria, surgical technique, and postoperative results for this combined approach.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 18 patients who underwent combined surgery between 1969 and 1976.
    • Detailed description of patient selection criteria and operative technique.
    • Analysis of postoperative outcomes, including wound infection and hernia recurrence rates.

    Main Results:

    • A total of 18 patients underwent the combined procedure.
    • The incidence of postoperative wound infection was 5.6%.
    • No cases of recurrent hernia were observed (0% recurrence rate).

    Conclusions:

    • Simultaneous open prostatectomy and inguinal herniorrhaphy can be performed with favorable outcomes.
    • The observed complication rates are comparable or superior to separate procedures.
    • This approach offers a viable option for select patients requiring both interventions.
