Brief Summary

In the literature, there are several studies that compare Laparoscopic totally extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) with Lichtenstein hernia (LH) repair.

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).

Detailed Description

176 men with unilateral inguinal hernia were randomized into two groups. Group T (n=88) underwent TEP and Group L(n:88) underwent LH repair. Patients demografigs, perioperative findings were recorded. For all patients preoperative, postoperative 7th,30th and 90th day SF 36 and IIEF were filled up.
