Brief summary (from the registry)
Groin hernia repair is accompanied by persistent severe pain in 2-4% of the patients significantly restraining psychophysical functions. Re-surgery with meshectomy and selective neurectomy may improve the pain condition, compared to non-surgical alternatives. In the current study, the primary objective was to examine and describe the underlying pathophysiological perturbations by quantitative somatosensory testing before and after re-surgery.
