Posted on Mon, 10 Jan 2022
Question: I had an ultrasound done that showed an inguinal hernia. I do not have a bulge. I do have groin pain though. My Dr. is going to repair it openly with mesh and treat it as a sports hernia. I have read that mesh is not good with sports hernia. It this the right approach for the repair?
