Reply To: Patterns of recurrence associated with specific types of inguinal hernia repair

[William Bryant]

If, and it’s a big if, as I’m not best on deciphering these studies, I am right it’s saying laproscopic has higher rate of recurrence, indirect at least.

Again I thought consensus was the opposite.

So if its more likely to cause chronic pain (Dr Sadler) and likely to recur (Shouldice), why do popular?
