OBJECTIVES: The aim of this study is to investigate the role of the
inguinal hernia over the development of varicocele, in cases with
accompanying inguinal hernia.
METHODS: The continuous variables were calculated from mean and standard
deviation, and intermittent variables were calculated over percentage
and frequency. Normality testing was performed on continuous variables
using the Kolmogorov-Smirnov test. Univariate analyses were performed
using the unpaired Mann-Whitney U test and Chi-squared test was used for
proportions. Kendall's tou-b correlation coefficient was used for
correlition coefficient. Logistic regression modeling were used to
identify the impact of inguinal hernias on selected cases. The data were
analyzed with SPSS (TM) for Windows 22 (SPSS,Chicago, IL).
RESULTS: Twelve cases (23.1\%) in the inguinal hernia group also had
varicocele, which was relatively high, whereas 12 cases with inguinal
hernia in the varicocele group corresponded to only were 4.02\% (12/52
(23.1\%) vs 12/298 (4.02\%)). On the other hand, as a result of the
binary logistic regression, we found statistically significant
difference in the probability of being diagnosed varicocele among the
patients with inguinal hernia as 1.94 times.
CONCLUSIONS: We think that in addition to the direct compression of some
of the inguinal hernias on testicular veins, the potential for a
combination of common enzymatic and biochemical disorders in some of the
cases involving these two disorders may be play role.
