The Importance of Surgical Timing in Inguinoscrotal Surgical Pathologies

Abstract

Aim: Various inguinal pathologies can occurred if the processus vaginalis cannot closed fully. The aim of this study was to evaluate all patients who underwent inguinoscrotal surgery operations between 2011 and 2018 in our clinic, in terms of age, gender and accompanying with another operation, retrospectively.

Material and Methods: In this study, records of 807 patients who were performed inguinal surgery operations including 558 inguinal hernia repair, 184 orchiopexy and 65 hydroselectomy between 2011 and 2018 at Duzce University, Faculty of Medicine, Pediatric Surgery Department were evaluated retrospectively.

Results: Mean age of the 558 patients who underwent inguinal hernia operation was 3.0±3.6 years, and 288 (51.6%) patients were older than 2 years of age. Of the patients who performed inguinal hernia operation, 411 (73.7%) were male and 147 (26.3%) were female. There was a statistically significant difference in terms of inguinal hernia repair side according to gender (p=0.038), and left inguinal hernia repair rate in females was detected higher than in males. Mean age of the 184 patients who performed orchiopexy operation was 4.0±3.4 years old, and only 46 patients (25.0%) who underwent orchiopexy were younger than 2 years of age. Mean age of the 65 patients who performed hydrocele operation was 4.6±4.1 years old.

Conclusion: According to the results of this study, it is seen that the community does not have enough information about the right operation time of inguinal hernia and undescended testis, and that the society should be informed about this issue.
