Abstract
While some limitations cannot be overcome, this meta-analysis suggests that damage to the posterior layer of the rectus sheath may be involved in the development of inguinal hernia after radical prostatectomy. Prophylactic surgery for high risk subjects is advised at the time of radical prostatectomy to minimize the incidence of inguinal hernia.
