Summary

In the literature, there are several studies that compare Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) with Lichtenstein hernia (LH) repair. There are no studies that compare sexual functions on men's health and quality of life. Our aim was to study the sexual functions of men, who underwent TEP or LH repair according to Health Survey Scoring Demonstration (SF36) and The International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF).

Conditions

  • Hernia, Inguinal
  • Men
  • Sexual Dysfunction

Interventions

PROCEDURE

Inguinal Hernia Repair

Inguinal hernia repair is surgery to repair a hernia in the groin. A hernia is tissue that bulges out of a weak spot in the abdominal wall. The intestine may bulge out through this weakened area. During surgery to repair the hernia, the bulging tissue is pushed back in. The abdominal wall is strengthened and supported with sutures (stitches), and sometimes mesh. This repair can be done with open or laparoscopic surgery.
