    Chronic pain risk lower in no-mesh repair or mesh?

    I think I asked the question before. Mesh has up to and maybe more post surgical pain of 30% but a much lower chance of recurrence. No mesh much lower chance of pain but higher recurrence. Myself I would risk the no mesh if you can find an excellent no mesh surgeon, which in the US is very hard. I lost two years in my middle age would rather have it when I am older and less active. No good answer but find the best surgeon and go with what they do best.
