New Understanding of the Causes and Surgical Treatment of Postherniorrhaphy Inguinodynia and Orchialgia
Chapter
Abstract
Advances in inguinal hernia repair, such as the use of prosthetic materials and new techniques, have markedly reduced the postherniorrhaphy recurrence rate. However, chronic pain after hernia repair is of continuing concern. According to the Swedish Hernia Registry, the incidence of chronic pain postherniorrhaphy is greater than that of hernia recurrence [1]. We have previously described the causes, prevention, and surgical treatment of postherniorrhaphy chronic pain [2].
