Abstract
PURPOSE:- The objective of this study was to assess the effect of Totally extra-peritoneal inguinal hernia repair on testicular perfusion and testicular volume. METHODS: - After obtaining ethical clearance from institutional ethical committee, the present Prospective study was conducted on 48 male patients with unilateral inguinal hernia in a tertiary care hospital. RESULTS: - The study was conducted on 48 patients over a period of 2 years from august 2017 to august 2019 after meeting inclusion and exclusion criteria. Their mean age was 45.70 years (range 21-72 years). In our study comparison of preoperative and postoperative values at third and sixth month in the patients did not show any statistically signicant alteration in the variables studied like testicular volume (p-0.987) and blood ow perfusion parameters Peak systolic velocity (p-0.591); End Diastolic velocity (p-0.526); Resistance index (p-0.415). CONCLUSION: - No alteration in testicular volume and arterial ow over a six-month period was observed among patients who underwent laparoscopic extra-peritoneal surgical correction using polypropylene prosthesis for inguinal hernia
