Effect of Nerve Identification on the Rate of Postoperative Chronic Pain Following Inguinal Hernia Surgery
Chapter
Abstract
The ilioinguinal nerve, iliohypogastric nerve, and inguinal segment of the genital branch of the genitofemoral nerve all cross the inguinal channel and consequently are vulnerable to injury.
