Abstract
Aim: To compare and evaluate the immediate and long-term results of performing transabdominal preperitoneal hernioplasty (TAPP) and total extraperitoneal hernioplasty (TEP) for the treatment of inguinal hernias after surgical treatment of prostate cancer;Material and method: the study is a clinical analytical prospective study, with the use of randomization. The study included 88 patients with inguinal hernia, who were randomly divided into two groups (group A (n = 44) and group B (n = 44)). Patients in group A received TEP, those in group B received TAPP. The end points of the study were the results associated with the operation itself and the prognosis of the disease in the two groups.Results: Group A: one patient had a scrotal hematoma, in 2 cases nosocomial pneumonia or infectious complications from the postoperative wound. The overall rate of early postoperative complications was 6.8%. In group B, the following postoperative complications were reported: in one case, intestinal injury, 1 case of acute urinary retention, 2 cases of scrotal hematoma. The overall incidence of early postoperative complications was 9.1%. There was no statistically significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the two groups (χ = 0.009, P > 0.05).Conclusion: During the analysis of the obtained results, no statistically significant difference was found in the duration of hospitalization, the volume of blood loss and the severity of the pain syndrome (P> 0.05); however, the comparison groups differed in the duration of the operation: the operation time in group A was longer than in group B. (P<0.05).
