Chronic postoperative pain is a common complication of inguinal hernia repair. An important Danish study revealed that 28.7% of patients undergoing hernioplasty suffered a varying degree of chronic pain, severe enough to interfere with normal daily activities in 11% of cases. The difficulty in treating this complication has led numerous surgeons to complete the surgical procedure ilioinguinal or iliohypogastric neurectomy. This method is proving effective in preventing the onset of chronic postoperative pain. We report the results obtained in patients undergoing neurectomy of the iliohypogastric nerve during anterior inguinal hernioplasty.

Incisional hernia is one of the most common complications of laparotomy. Its repair with prosthesis has enabled a considerable improvement in the outcome, significantly reducing recurrences. This study analyses the results of open hernioplasty with mesh performed as a Day Surgery procedure in 42 patients between November 2008 and October 2010. The results were good, with low postoperative morbidity and recurrences (2.4%).
