    Does surgery resolve occult hernia pain and symptoms?

    Yes, if symptoms are due to a hernia, then a hernia repair should fix them. In reality the symptom resolution rate is about 80% because something else may be causing the pain. The type of repair does not seem to matter. It should be whatever your surgeon is most comfortable with. No, it should not matter if they are an athlete.
