Preperitoneal mesh reinforcing performed simultaneously with the operation to prevent hernia formation after penile revascularization: A new method
Abstract
Objectıve: Inguinal hernia development is a
significant postoperative complication in patients
receiving penile revascularization. This study aimed
to reveal that mesh reinforcement in patients with
a risk of inguinal hernia is an applicable treatment
method to prevent hernia formation.
Material and Methods: Seventy-seven patients, were included into the study. While thirtynine of the patients had penile revascularization
without mesh reinforcement(Group 1), 38 of the
patients had the operation with prolene mesh
reinforcement(Group 2). Patients were grouped homogeneously in terms of hernia formation risk factors. After penile revascularization operation, patients were evaluated considering hernia formation.
Results: Mean age of the patients was 47.7
years for Group 1(25-68) and 49.6 years for Group
2(28-66). Mean patient follow up was 16.3(11-26)
months. It was determined that 3 of the patients in
group 1 had hernia during post-operative second
month and 2 of the patients had it during postoperative third and fourth months. None of the
patients in group 2 had hernia. Hernia repair was
conducted by open surgery in four of the patients
who had hernia and by laparoscopic surgery in one
patient who had hernia.
Conclusion: Preperitoneal mesh reinforcement is an effective method that can be applied
to prevent inguinal hernia which is observed in
patients who have risk of inguinal hernia in penile
revascularization operation.
