Nerve Injury & Chronic Pain after Hernia Repair: Risks & Prevention | Dr. Todd Harris

Dr. Todd Harris addresses one of the most common patient concerns: nerve injury and chronic pain after hernia surgery. While inguinal hernia repairs carry a higher risk than umbilical repairs due to the complex anatomy of the groin, Dr. Harris explains how specialized surgical techniques can minimize this risk. He details the three main nerves in the inguinal canal (Iliohypogastric, Ilioinguinal, and Genitofemoral) and explains his "Nerve Preservation" philosophy—choosing to identify and protect these nerves rather than surgically cutting them (neurectomy). Learn how our use of ultra-lightweight mesh and careful dissection helps ensure that patients maintain normal sensation without chronic post-operative pain.
