  ABSTRACT: Introduction: Benign prostatic hypertrophy and inguinal hernia are related and frequent pathologies in people over 50 years old. Their incidence is 15% to 25% according to the literature. The occurrence of hernia during benign prostatic hyperplasia is favored by disorders of the lower urinary tract. Simultaneous single-stage treatment of these two pathologies makes it possible to obtain satisfactory results that can reduce the cost of hospital stay and the multiple risk of anesthesia. The aim of our study was to: 1) Report the epidemiological, anatomo-clinical and para-clinical aspects of hernias during benign prostatic hypertrophy; 2) Evaluate the feasibility and the results of the combined treatment of inguinal hernia and prostatic adenectomy in a single operation. Patients and Method: This was a retrospective descriptive study over a period of 7 years from March 2014 to February 2021, including patients operated on simultaneously at the University Hospital of Abeche for inguinal hernia and benign prostatic hypertrophy. The variables studied were: age, antecedents, favouring factors, clinical symptomatology, para-clinical elements, treatments and results: Results: 356 patients underwent surgery for benign prostatic hyperplasia, 36 of whom had an associated inguinal hernia. The mean age was 65.5 years, ranging from 50 to 93 years. The main reason for consultation was chronic urinary retention. The average consultation time was 10.2 months. The inguinal hernia was located on the right in 51% of cases and on the left in 18.4%. The mean prostatic volume measured by suprapubic ultrasound was 60.5 ± 25 cc. 14% and 10.2% of patients respectively were found to have struggle bladder and bilateral ureterohydronephrosis. Transvesical suprapubic adenectomy of the prostate was performed in all patients. The Bassini technique was the most commonly used (91%) for hernia repair. The average hospital stay was 7.5 days. Conclusion: Simultaneous treatment of benign prostatic hypertrophy and inguinal hernia reduces the number of hospital admissions in elderly patients, as well as the length of hospital stay.
