Abstract

Background: Chronic groin pain (inguinodynia) is among the most significant long-term complications following inguinal hernia repair, with reported incidence rates of 10–30%. Despite improvements in surgical technique and mesh technology, its etiology remains multifactorial and incompletely understood.
