57 m w/ right small inguinal hurnia. good health. love running slow yet long distance. as far as chronic pain & back to running - is it open or l-scop
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Could be either: Most inguinal hernias can be fixed laparoscopically although it depends on your anatomy and any previous surgeries. Laparoscopically may get you back to activities slightly quicker. It's most important to find a surgeon experienced at hernia repair.
