Several: Laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs are usually not risky operations. Hernia recurrence rates vary between 2-10%. There is always a risk of ongoing pain, testicular swelling, bleeding, mesh infection. Generally, it is associated with a shorter recovery, but not any other advantage.

Many: The risks of any operation include the risks of anesthesia, infection, injury to adjacent organs. For laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair, the risks include also include hernia recurrence and chronic pain although the risk of pain is lower than the risk of recurrence and the risk of serious complications such as injury to the intestines, bladder or blood vessels is exceedingly low in the hands of a very experienced surgeon.
