Lee Dellon is a peripheral nerve specialist – maybe the best in the world. Chief of neurosurgery at John Hopkins Baltimore – he also does surgery out of Vegas but only at selective times. Lots of testimonials on his website if you click around. Good luck.

I wanted to add this preface. I was also examined by another hernia surgeon who felt the mesh was not a problem since I had been pain free for so long a time. I was examined by Dellon who did my neurectomies 20 years ago, he felt confident I had this adductor problem. I had five out of the six symptoms.

I then was examined by him and the conclusion was my adductor groin pull was the problem. I had the surgery 3 weeks ago, 11/21/19. Its still early but my groin pains are totally gone, so is the burning on my medial thigh. Dellon did a neurolysis on the obturator nerve, removing scared in fascia. He also resectioned a small sensory nerve that branches off the obturator nerve and innervates the pubic bone. Right now I am dealing with incisional pain and some very mild aches in the thigh. I expect those problems to continue to improve in the weeks ahead. Looking at the big picture I have to consider if I had a groin pull twenty years ago at the same time as my hernia. Everyone focused on the hernia and not on the fact that I had adductor pain that I mentioned right after the lapro. I also have to consider if the lapro repair which created the tack problem in the pubic bone may have somehow started my adductor pain. Perhaps years of avoiding any adduction of the leg set me up for a groin pull situation. Either way I am hoping this surgery has solved the problem ending my recurrent flare ups in the groin, at the adductor insertion and on the medial thigh.
