    Area of Science:

    • Urology
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Transurethral resection of the prostate (TURP) is a common procedure.
    • Inguinal hernias are prevalent and can complicate other surgeries.
    • Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) is a common condition in aging men.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To determine the incidence of inguinal hernias in patients undergoing TURP.
    • To evaluate the utility of urine flow rate as a screening tool for prostatism in patients with inguinal hernias.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 70 patients who underwent TURP.
    • Assessment of hernia presence at admission or history of herniorrhaphy.
    • Correlation of findings with urine flow rate measurements.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • Inguinal hernias were found in 20% of patients, significantly higher than the general population.
    • 47% of patients had a pre-existing hernia or prior herniorrhaphy.
    • Urine flow rate confirmed as a reliable indicator for prostatism.

    Conclusions:

    • TURP patients have a high incidence of inguinal hernias.
    • Urine flow rate is a valuable screening tool for prostatism in patients with inguinal hernias.
    • Screening for prostatism is crucial in patients with inguinal hernias prior to herniorrhaphy.
