Context: Laparoscopic hernia repair, despite its safety and effectivity is related to some drawbacks. Testicular complications are uncommon but serious among them. Testicular atrophy occurs in 0% to 2% of patients after hernioplasty. Aim: In this study, we tried to evaluate the effects of laparoscopic total extraperitoneal (TEP) repair on testicular blood flow in Indian population by comparing the testicular perfusion in preoperative and postoperative status. Settings and Design: A prospective study. Subjects and Methods: A prospective study was conducted among adult male patients having an uncomplicated inguinal hernia. Preoperative and postoperative CDUS evaluation of testicular blood flow was done for each patient. Statistical Analysis Used: Data were analyzed using the SPSS (SPSS, Chicago, IL, USA) software program. Results: The resistive indexes of testicular, capsular, and intratesticular arteries of the operated and nonoperated side were similar preoperatively and did not differ ominously postoperatively. Conclusion: Laparoscopic hernia surgery does not have any significant effect on testicular blood supply and can be advocated safely without any added risk of testicular atrophy.

“…Studies by Beddy et al [4] and EI-Awady et al [5] have shown that the resistive index on the side of a unilateral hernia is significantly higher than that on the normal side. On the other hand, Neto et al [6] and Ramadan et al [7] did not observe any statistically significant elevation in resistive indexes. In this study, we conducted a comparison of testicular temperature, volume, and blood perfusion before surgery on both the inguinal hernia side and the healthy side.…”

Objective. To explore the effect of laparoscopic trans-abdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) combined with biological mesh on the reproductive function of male inguinal hernia patients during the reproductive period. Methods. Sixty male inguinal hernia patients during the reproductive period admitted to our department from October 2015 to October 2021 were selected for retrospective analysis. All patients were treated with TAPP combined with biological mesh by the same team. Bilateral testicular volume, testicular temperature, testicular blood perfusion, peripheral serum testosterone concentration, and semen analysis were examined before surgery, 3 months after surgery, 6 months after surgery, and 12 months after surgery. Results. The preoperative testicular volume, temperature, and blood perfusion were compared between the healthy side and the affected side; the testicular volume, temperature, blood perfusion of the affected side, peripheral blood testosterone concentration, and semen analysis were compared among the four time points, which were before operation, 3 months after operation, 6 months after operation, and 12 months after operation. All p values were >0.05. Conclusions. The presence of inguinal hernia had no significant effect on the volume and blood perfusion of male testis. In addition, TAPP combined with biological mesh has no negative effect on postoperative reproductive function of male inguinal hernia patients of childbearing age, which manifested as a safe and feasible surgical method.

“…As a result; there are many clinical and experimental study results in which has advers effect or not on testicular perfusion (Lima Neto et al 2007; Koksal et al 2010). We thougt that it is difficult to impair the testicular perfusion after hernia repair, because of it has rich arterial supplay and collateral capacity.…”

Open and laparoscopic tension-free techniques of hernia repair using synthetic meshes are a well-accepted practice with an excellent patient comfort and a low recurrence rate. It is well known that, direct contact of the mesh to the vessels in the inguinal canal and perimesh fibrosis may have a negative impact on testicular flow. Whether different operative techniques or mesh materials used have an effect on the integrity of the testicle, the influence of the resulting fibrosis on testicular perfusion, and spermatic cord structures is still unclear.Our objective is to review whether there is an association between inguinal hernia and hernia repair techniques, pitfalls of various manipulations and also specific applications on spermatic cord structures and testicular perfusion in view of the literature.Most of the clinical and experimental studies result support the idea that inguinal mesh application for hernioplasty is still a safe procedure in patients. Testicular blood flow may be influenced during open and laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery. But, so far, there is no evidence for a significant impairment of cord structures after open or laparoscopic hernia repair using tension free techniques. It is clear that fine surgical dissection and reconstruction, doing respect for anatomy and using proper prosthetic material could be obtain the best results. Whether changes in flow parameters remain in the late postoperative period, and whether they have an impact on complications should be evaluated in further clinical and experimental studies.
