“…Cunningham et al were the fi rst to bring up the issue of CGP [14] and thereafter it has become an important area of research. In a recent review Nienhuijs et al reviewed 29 good quality studies from January 1996 to June 2006 with a total of 8350 patients and a mean follow up ranging from 3 to 36 months and concluded that after mesh based repairs, 11% of patients suffer chronic pain [15]; whereas in our study we have found the incidence of CGP to be 0.78%. This is considerably less than what has been reported earlier [3,4].…”

“…The overall literature is somewhat confusing regarding the definition of neuropathic pain, and hence the assessment of pain and its consequences in most trials have not been well defined [7,20,29,32,48,49]. More recently, several questionnaires and validated score systems have been presented, concluding that pain should be assessed at rest as well as during well-defined functions corresponding to daily life tasks, including questions about pain influencing sexual function like dysejaculation [26,31,43,58,61].…”

“…It has evolved into the laparoscopic surgery which has indicated a better outcome and less postoperative acute and chronic pain when compared with open-repair of the hernia with or without a mesh (6). But still some authorities recommend the open mesh repair over the laparoscopic repair for inguinal hernia (11).…”

“…This probably has led to the wide range of prevalence of chronic pain reported in various studies. In studies where a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) was used as the tool of pain measurement the incidence of chronic pain was much higher than the studies where simple questions were used as to whether the pain is present or not (6). We used The Wong-Baker FACES (WBF) pain rating scale, to quantify the severity of pain.…”
