Reply To: dissolvable tack cause pain?

[Herniator]

Hi Tacks cause pain regardless of whether an absorbable or permanent tacker – the most common nerve damaged in Lap groin surgery is the lateral cutaneous nerve (pain on side of hip) and femoral branch of genitofemoral nerve (pain in the front of the thigh). Where exactly is your pain please – Tack should ideally be removed as nerve is irritated, but you may find that it will burn out in three months or so
