Should I have a hernia re-done?
A. I don’t recommend that you mix two procedures together. Deal with the acute problem of your pain first. Once you are pain free, then deal with the elective asymptomatic hernia. And let the surgeon choose the technique.
B. If it’s a nerve issue and nerve blocks alone are not helpful, surgery can help. If it’s a pure nerve issue and you have no pain from anything else, then yes the nerve can be surgically addressed without disrupting the repair.
