One hundred thirty one men who underwent inguinal herniotomy were included in this study, of these, 19 (14.4%) were found to have changes in their testicular size on the side of the operation. Of the 19 men 9 had been operated on for right inguinal hernia, 6 for left inguinal hernia and 4 for bilateral inguinal hernia. All the men were infertile with decreased sperm quality (as measured by concentration, motility, degree of motility and morphology). Most of the men with damaged testes showed elevated serum FSH and decreased serum testosterone. 112 men who had undergone herniotomy were found to have normal sized testicles. They were referred to this institute because of infertility and their semen quality and blood hormones (FSH, LH and testosterone) were evaluated for comparison with the group of the men possessing damaged testicles.

Introduction: Iatrogenic injury to the ilioinguinal nerve and its branches during anterior inguinal hernia repair is a cause of chronic inguinal pain in up to 12 % of patients undergoing this operation. The risk of nerve injury is high, given the nerves' relatively small caliber and strictly-confined space through which they pass. In the current report, we describe using a novel fluorescence imaging system developed to detect nerve autofluorescence in a 66-year-old man who presented with a left-sided Type II inguinal hernia and underwent inguinal hernioplasty.

Introduction: Giant inguinoscrotal hernias (GIH), defined as hernias extending below the inner thigh midpoint in a standing position, are rare and often seen in resource-limited settings due to delayed medical care. These hernias pose surgical challenges, particularly in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where standardized management protocols are lacking, and risks such as cardiorespiratory compromise are significant.
Case Presentation: A 55-year-old male presented with a large, irreducible right inguinoscrotal hernia of 1.

Background: Routinely separating the ligamentum teres uteri (LTU) intraoperatively remains an unresolved issue for female children undergoing surgery for indirect inguinal hernia (IIH).
Aim: To identify the effect of LTU preservation in laparoscopic high hernia sac ligation (LHSL) in children with IIH.
Methods: The participants were 100 female children with unilateral IIH admitted from April 2022 to January 2024 to the Pediatric Surgery Department of Zhangzhou Municipal Hospital of Fujian Province.
