Abstract: Objective To evaluate acellular tissue matrix mesh in inguinal hernioplasty in young male patients.Methods Clinical outcome and sexual function were evaluated on 12 young male inguinal hernia patients undergoing inguinal hernioplasty by ACTM mesh.Results The mean operation time was 62 minutes.Postoperative analgesics were needed for an average of 1.45 days (range,0 -4 days).The average postoperative hospital stay was 3.9 days,and patients were able to return to normal activity,after a mean 11.8 days.All patients were followed-up for a mean duration of 9.54 months(range,6 - 16 months).Two patients complained pain one month after surgery and the pain disappeared later without any medical treatment.There was no hernia recurrence and foreign body feelings,nor sexual and reproductive problems.Conclusions The ACTM mesh is a safe and effective material for inguinal hernioplasty,especially in young male patients.
