🎙️ Chronic Inguinal Pain: The Hidden Challenge in Hernia Surgery! 🔎💥
Chronic inguinal pain is a major concern for patients after hernia repair. But why does it happen? How can it be properly diagnosed? And most importantly, what are the most effective treatment strategies?
In this episode, we break down the pathophysiology of chronic post-herniorrhaphy pain, differentiating between neuropathic and non-neuropathic pain, exploring key diagnostic tools like ultrasound and nerve blocks, and reviewing the best treatment approaches—from pharmacological management and non-invasive therapies to advanced surgical techniques.
💡 Did you know that the “Step-Up” protocol can revolutionize the way we manage chronic inguinal pain? And that minimally invasive techniques can significantly reduce long-term pain rates?
With a technical and evidence-based approach, we discuss the role of opioids, the effectiveness of serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, multidisciplinary rehabilitation, and even neurostimulation as part of the comprehensive pain management strategy.
🚀 If you’re a surgeon, resident, or pain specialist, this episode is packed with key insights on managing chronic inguinal pain!
