Somatosensory Outcomes Following Re-surgery in Persistent Severe Pain After Groin Hernia Repair
In Brief
An observational study evaluating Re-surgery for Patients With Persistent Severe Pain After Groin Hernia Repair. Completed, enrolled 60 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
Groin hernia repair is accompanied by persistent severe pain in 2-4% of the patients significantly restraining psychophysical functions. Re-surgery with meshectomy and selective neurectomy may improve the pain condition, compared to non-surgical alternatives. In the current study, the primary objective was to examine and describe the underlying pathophysiological perturbations by quantitative somatosensory testing before and after re-surgery.
