4 years of hip/groin pain. Help!

I advise patients with exertional groin pain and no definite findings that a laparoscopic hernia repair offers about an 80% chance of improvement, a 5% chance of making things worse and a15% chance that there will be no change. I don’t know the data on hip surgery but I would recommend doing things one at a time to minimize risk and to know where the problem is if very something gets worse after surgery.
