    Does surgery resolve occult hernia pain and symptoms?

    Yes absolutely. The main purpose of repairing a hernia is to resolve symptoms.

    There is no one repair superior to another. Your surgeon will have that discussion with you and should tailor the repair based on your needs and your surgeon’s practice of preference. The same is true for athletes, male or female.
