Clinical Trial Summary

postoperative chronic inguinal pain is a common postoperative complication after open inguinal hernia repair.

Chronic inguinal pain is a common complication following open inguinal hernia repair. Ilioinguinal nerve entrapment is a common cause of this chronic pain which may adversely affect the patients' life. Ilioinguinal neurectomy seems to be beneficial in preventing such pain, but it carries the risk for numbness and hypoesthesia.
