Recurrence after inguinal hernia repair occurs in 5 % patients, while chronic pain affects 10 % of patients. Chronic pain can be debilitating, and a multidisciplinary approach to management is often necessary. Pain associated with recurrence requires an understanding of the initial operative approach. Surgical management includes repair of the recurrent inguinal hernia, neurectomy, and mesh removal. Repair of recurrence leading to resolution of pain is successful in over 80 % of patients.
