Abstract
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common operations performed by general surgeons worldwide. It is the most common subtype of abdominal wall hernias encountered by surgeons, which are almost 15-18% of all surgical procedures. Inguinal hernias can present with an array of different symptoms. Lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) due to benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) are very common among elderly men. Conditions that occur more frequently with age such as atherosclerosis, obesity, and insulin resistance, can be important underlying etiological factors for benign prostatic enlargement (BPE) that is generally caused by the histopathological condition known as BPH.
