Post herniorrhaphy pain syndrome, or inguinodynia is pain or discomfort lasting greater than 3 months after surgery of inguinal hernia. Randomized trials of laparoscopic vs open inguinal hernia repair have demonstrated similar recurrence rates with the use of mesh and have identified that chronic groin pain (>10%) surpasses recurrence (<2%) and is an important measure of success.
Unlike a hydrocele of the cord, a hydrocele of the canal of Nuck is always at least partially within the inguinal canal. [citation needed] The accuracy of the diagnosis must be ascertained. Great care must be taken to differentiate a hydrocele from a scrotal hernia or tumor of the testicle. Ultrasound imaging can be very useful in these cases ...

Damage to the plexus during inguinal hernia repair is the chief cause of ischaemic orchitis following this surgery; such orchitics typically presents within a week post-surgery and is almost always self-limiting. Its incidence is <1% for primary hernia repair, but more for recurrent hernia repairs. [5]
