Is there somebody who had INGUINAL HERNIA and BPH surgeries at the same
time. Is it possible?

Thanks for information.
Peter

NO

PVP or TURP are done via the urethra

Inguinal hernia is done via laparoscopic incision in the abdomen or
sometimes open incision

These procedures require two different doctors, so it's doubtful. I
had them both a year apart.

Just curious --- which surgery was the toughest??? I had the hernia surgery
in 1988 (non-laparoscopic). I recovered fine but it took awhile -- I
wouldn't describe it as easy.

difficult.
It is best to rest in bed for at least a couple of days following
hernia surgery. Most people who have PVP are up and around in just a
few hours, although it's best not to overdo it.
