Surgical Outcomes Following Neurectomy Based Upon Response to Local Anesthetic Injection in Chronic Groin Pain
Trial Summary
What is the purpose of this trial?
The management of chronic pain after inguinal hernia surgery presents unique challenges. Ilioinguinal nerve blocks are often used in the initial treatment of this disease. This can often be followed by surgery, including neurectomy and/or hernia mesh removal. In an effort to identify preoperative predictors of postoperative outcomes following these surgical interventions the investigators devised a study to prospectively evaluate and correlate a patients pre-operative response to an ilioinguinal nerve block with their post-operative outcomes following surgery for chronic groin pain after inguinal hernia surgery.
