@nullnotvoid Had inguinal hernia repair. Worst part was waiting to pee. Pain not too bad. Might want to have a cane handy for extra support, taking stress off of abs.
Inguinal hernia repair, also known as herniorrhaphy, is the surgical correction of an inguinal hernia. An inguinal hernia is an opening, weakness, or bulge in the lining tissue (peritoneum) of the abdominal wall in the groin area between the abdomen and the thigh. The surgery may be a standard open procedure through an incision large enough to access the hernia or a laparoscopic procedure performed through tiny incisions.
