A member asked:
Do you need to shave the scrotum before inguinal hernia surgery or just the hair in the groin area?

This practice varies among surgeons. In any event the surgical team does the preop shaving, if any, using clippers. The patient shouldn't do any shaving.

No need to shave the scrotum. Some surgeons prefer trim/ shave pubic hair on the side of surgery
