Previous reports have recognized the benefits of combining prostatic resection and @entity169 . This study reports the surgical management of bladder-outlet obstruction with simultaneous transurethral prostatectomy and mesh-based tension-free @entity169 . A prospective study was undertaken of 31 consecutive @entity1 seen from January 1993-December 1998 at the Western Medical Center. All surgery was performed electively under epidural anesthesia, and prophylactic antimicrobial agents were given routinely. Two @entity547 repair techniques were used: the mesh-plug technique and the Lichtenstein repair. Written informed consent was obtained from all @entity1 . Over a 5-year period, in 31 consecutive @entity1 without @entity293 , 36 groin @entity547 were diagnosed. The mean+/-SD age of @entity1 was 65.9+/-6.3 years. Twenty-four (66.7%) @entity547 were direct, and 12 (33.3%) were indirect; 61.1% (22) were @entity547 , and 38.8% (14) were recurrent. The mesh-plug and Lichtenstein repair techniques were used to treat 22 (61.1%) and 14 (38.8%) @entity547 , respectively. Wound @entity1410 developed after three hernioplasties (8.3%) and wound @entity281 in one (2.7%). Hospital stays ranged between 2 and 4 days. The mean follow-up period was 69 months. The recurrence rate was 2.7% (one @entity547 ). Simultaneous mesh-based tension-free herniorrhaphy and transurethral prostatectomy is a reliable and safe alternative for @entity1 with both prostate enlargement and groin @entity547 . Hospital stay is not affected by the combined procedure, and the @entity281 rate is acceptably low.
