Abstract：
BACKGROUND/PURPOSE:Inguinal hernia repair and orchidopexy are among the most common operations in boys. The impact on future fertility has not been conclusively defined. This study evaluates sperm quality after previous inguinal surgery. METHODS:Spermiograms of men with a desire to conceive children were analyzed. History of previous inguinal surgery (hernia repair, orchidopexy, varicocele ligation) was correlated with sperm quality. Other influential factors (age, BMI, chronic medication, tobacco use) were also tested. RESULTS:A total of 333 patients were included. Overall, 12.6% of the subjects had undergone previous inguinal surgery. Of these, 17 (43%) were inguinal hernia repairs, 8 (20%) orchidopexies, and 6 (15%) varicocele ligations, while 9 (22%) could not give an exact history. Abnormal spermiograms were found in 60% (n = 24) of those with previous inguinal surgery versus 48% in controls (p = 0.16). On multivariate analysis, pathologic spermiogram parameters were associated with previous inguinal surgery, orchidopexy, use of chronic medication, and smoking, but NOT with inguinal hernia or varicocele repair alone. CONCLUSIONS:Previous inguinal hernia or varicocele repair does not seem to impact negatively on quality of sperm later in life. Orchidopexy, smoking, and use of chronic medication, however, were all associated with pathologic sperm quality parameters. TYPE OF STUDY:Prospective comparative study. LEVEL OF EVIDENCE:Level II.
