Somewhere in some early research. I believe I saw a reference that said a HoLEP could not be performed in the case where there was an existing repaired inguinal hernia. I can't find the reference now. Does anyone know if this is true?
Thanks!

4 years ago, I had Inguinal hernia on both sides. Had HoLep with Dr. Lingeman in Jan., 2013 with great success.
No issue regarding hernia repair.
Almost no blood with the HoLep--no incontinence--no pads-and a fairly uneventful recovery.
Hope it helps.

Me - Holep Moses 2.0 on 7/14/2021; Complete success! I do have an Inguinial Hernia that needs to be addressed - I made a decision to wait to do this AFTER Holep. Any recommendations WHEN do do this repair? Should I wait 6 mos or 12 mos; No serious issues w hernia but it is talking to me and does ache sometimes...

Did you ever repair your I Hernia's after HoLEP procedure? I have 2 and did HoLEP in 7/2021; I am trying to make it to next summer before the H repairs - I want to make sure the P is fully recovered... I am fine since procedure! 231g and 177 removed. At 3 mos, PSA is 0.247 (was 8.2 in Feb) and Ultra sound test showed '0' in bladder after voiding....just need to do H and hoping I can wait!!!!

Update: I did DaVinci robotic double hernia repair 12/21/2021 at Lourdes Hospital in Lafayette, LA by Dr Joey Barrios - HoLEP Moses 2.0 was done 7/20/2021 by Dr Amy Krambeck at Northwestern Medical in Chicago; 71 yr old - BOTH recoveries were AMAZING!!!!! I can pee like a cow in the pasture now!!!
Why did I wait so long?
