Chronic postherniorrhaphy pain following inguinal hernia surgery: Etiology, risk factors, anatomy, and treatment options
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite recent advances in surgical technique for inguinal hernia repair, chronic groin pain following the surgical repair of an inguinal hernia is not uncommon. Injury to the ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, or genitofemoral nerves is the most common etiology. Specific risk factors that increase the likelihood of developing chronic groin pain have been identified. Ultrasound-guided peripheral nerve blocks may play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of chronic groin pain. As in many pain syndromes, early diagnosis and early treatment are crucial. Evidence-based management of chronic groin pain is poorly studied, although cryotherapy and neuromodulation techniques show potential efficacy. © 2011 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

متن کاملPain control following inguinal herniorrhaphy: current perspectives
Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most common surgeries performed worldwide. With the success of modern hernia repair techniques, recurrence rates have significantly declined, with a lower incidence than the development of chronic postherniorrhaphy inguinal pain (CPIP). The avoidance of CPIP is arguably the most important clinical outcome and has the greatest impact on patient satisfaction, ...

BACKGROUND The recommended surgical treatment for chronic neuropathic pain after herniorrhaphy has been a 2-stage operation including: (1) ilioinguinal and iliohypogastric neurectomies through an inguinal approach and (2) genital nerve neurectomy through a flank approach. HYPOTHESIS A 1-stage surgical procedure resecting all 3 nerves from an anterior approach avoids a second operation through...
