Abstract
Chronic postoperative inguinal pain (CPIP) is a frequent and significant complication following inguinal hernia repair, affecting between 2%-16% of patients. Despite several studies, the treatment of CPIP remains complex and challenging, and no standardised treatment guidelines currently exist. An individualised approach is recommended, based on the initial surgical technique and the specific characteristics of the pain. The aim of this review is to provide an overview of the current treatment strategies for patients with CPIP, based on the latest evidence.
