Female pelvic pain, hernia?

Thanks Dr. Towfigh. I went to see a surgeon today and he offered to do a Laproscopy to see if there were any hernias. He felt a standing ultrasound wouldn’t benefit much. He review my MRI’s and didn’t see anything. This laproscopy would be purely investigational. He would repair any hernia with mesh. What are the risks of this? Is there risk of damaging genitofemoral or illinguinal nerve or risk of adhestions even if nothing is found? I guess what I’m asking is if I don’t have any hernia to repair is this procedure pretty safe? Does the blowing up of abdomen with air have any risk of damaging nerve or adhesions or only problems at the site of incision through belly button. Thanks so much. I really am struggling with the decision to do this or not.
