Acute postoperative pain following open inguinal hernia repair

Acute postoperative pain following open inguinal hernia repair is a transient, nociceptive and neuro-inflammatory symptom complex affecting the groin and lower abdominal wall in surgical patients Proper perioperative control of this acute pain state is essential to support early recovery and mitigate the potential transition into chronic post-herniorrhaphy inguinal pain

Acute postoperative pain following open inguinal hernia repair is a transient, nociceptive and neuro-inflammatory symptom complex affecting the groin and lower abdominal wall in surgical patients Clinically, it presents as localized incisional tenderness, sharp or aching groin discomfort, and movement-evoked pain that is intensified by coughing, straining, or early ambulation

Arising immediately after conventional open herniorrhaphy or hernioplasty, it results from surgical disruption of skin and fascia, local inflammatory signaling, and mechanical traction or irritation of regional sensory nerves, primarily the ilioinguinal, iliohypogastric, and genitofemoral nerves
