[Spermatogenesis at inguinal hernias].

Overall 87 patients aged 26-38 years with inguinal hernias were analyzed. Laboratory examinations of ejaculate, blood concentration of sex hormones and anti- spermatozoon autoantibodies were performed at all the patients. Examination of ejaculate demonstrated good fertility at 18 (20.7%) patients only. Other tests also demonstrated different pathology. These disorders were higher-grade at patients with two-sided hernias and long anamnesis. It is concluded that inguinal hernia leads to fertility disorders.

[Fracture of the penis].

Rupture of the cavernous bodies is a serious penile trauma which may result in severe long-term consequences. Standard suturing of the cavernous body is accompanied with posttraumatic complications: erectile dysfunction and distortion of the penis. The results of examination and treatment of 38 patients with rupture of the tunica albuginea of the penile cavernous bodies are presented. The technique of the cavernous body wound suturing was perfected. Long-term sequences of fracture of the penis in conservative policy and different methods of cavernous body wound suturing are compared.
