Chronic pain is the most serious long-term complication of inguinal hernia repair. Up to one-third of patients will complain of some sort of pain at 1 year postoperatively, and in 3–4% of patients this pain will be severe and disabling [1, 2]. The causes of this pain are poorly understood, but factors such as nerve and tissue injury may be important. Psychological factors are also implicated, and more recently, the type of mesh used has been considered [3]. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
