    Muscle atrophy

    Yes, one of the risks of laparoscopic or extended triple neurectomy is denervation of the abdominal muscles on that side. This problem is not seen with the open anterior approach triple neurectomy.
    In a subset of patients, the muscle regains its strength and one has less bulging .
    I am not aware of any treatment for this
