What is Post-Herniorraphy Syndrome?

Patients that have an inguinal hernia (where soft tissue bulges through a weak part of your abdominal wall) have surgery to alleviate the pain. The pain goes away for most people, but for 5-7% of patients, prolonged post-operative pain may last for months or even years after surgery. Don’t assume you just have to live with the pain! Come speak with Dr. Kalava about opioid-free treatment options to alleviate your pain today.

Steps in Diagnosing and Managing Post Herniorrhaphy Syndrome:
