    parietex progrip removal, an exercise in futility?

    Not sure where you are located but I had major problems with my hernia surgery.

    I see you were recommended 2 surgeons in WI. I have met with one of them and would say his experience is very limited in post hernia pain and surgeries performed. The other I know the name but did not see him but met with one of his peers I think Dr. Wallace. I also met with Ramshaw, Goodyear and Yunis and spoke with Dr. G in Cleveland. I had surgery with one of them but all seemed very impressive and excellent at communications.

    Good luck. Not sure if this forum has PM but you are more than welcome to contact me if it does.

    Post-vasectomy Pain – Neurectomy Options

    I did not read your entire post but the surgery I think is called micro spermatic cord denervation if I remember correctly and I am sure I spelled it wrong.

    About 5 years ago this was fairly new and very few surgeons performed it. I think the leading expert at the time was from the Orlando area. I almost had this surgery. Be very careful, my surgeon was supposedly one of the best in the nation but only had performed about 75 at the time. When asked multiple times if he was going to perform it entirely he had a very hard time answering and finally stated his resident would do the entire surgery with him not leaving the OR. On outcomes he also had a hard time responding but stated no guarantee of pain relief and loss of testicle was another complication if I remember correctly That was the end of it. Decided I would live with the pain.

    Groin Pain – 4+ years of pain and frustration

    Sounds like my story with almost the same timeline at the start and I almost had denervation surgery. Come to find out it was a femoral hernia causing all of the problems. They found it during my surgery to fix the first inguinal hernia surgery.
