Lowest risk surgery type to resolve groin pain?
Short answer, Chaunce123: No.
It’s like asking, which pair of Jeans will make a human being look better? It’s based on your body type, sex, height, weight, style you wish to portray, etc. Hernia repair is the same.
A. the best repair type varies per surgeon and their expertise and experience
B. the best repair type varies based on sex, lifestyle, body habitus (weight), risk factors for recurrence, etc.
C. each mesh type is different and may be better or worse for each patient (E.g., lightweight mesh may sound great, but I would argue it is not a good choice for the morbidly obese or larger build body types. Similarly, no-mesh repair sounds like a safe alternative, but if there is going to be an early recurrence, with tearing of the muscle, resulting in a larger hole and more complex redo surgery, then that would be a terrible outcome.)
