Background. Benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and inguinal hernia are a fairly common combination of pathologies that can mutually aggravate the course of diseases and provoke the development of complications. Materials and methods. The extraction of data on operated men with BPH was carried out by analyzing electronic diseases and outpatient records in the RIAMS ProMED system operating throughout Penza region. Results. Of the 1,042 inguinal hernias operated on, 91,5 % – 953 were men. Of which one third suffer from BPH (337 – 35,4 %). The presence of BPH in a patient with inguinal hernia is a reliable criterion for the development of possible complications (p = 0,01), as well as the fact of hernia infringement in patients in the study group (p < 0,001). Conclusions. Oblique rightsided hernia is more likely to have complications (p < 0,001). A reliable variant of the risk of postoperative complications is the patient's adherence to smoking (p = 0,001). While cancer, body mass index, diabetes mellitus, and the option of surgical plastic surgery had no effect on the development of complications.
