Resumo
Herniorrhaphy is one of the most common surgical procedures, with an estimated 20 million operations performed annually worldwide.
One of the common complications associated with this procedure is inguinodynia, defined as pain beyond three months after inguinal
hernia surgery. In this review, we have addressed the main aspects of this complication with current articles, published in the last five
years. Inguinodynia has a multifactorial nature and studies have shown that its development is related to the surgical technique and
intrinsic factors of the patient that imply greater predisposition to this phenomenon. In this regard, it has been discussed which surgical
techniques imply a lower incidence of this complication. Many studies have focused on understanding intrinsic features of each patient,
both in physical and cognitive aspects, and how the approach of these factors can favor a better post-surgical recovery. The treatment
of this condition is still challenging, and there are no established universal guidelines. We believe that due to its multifactorial nature, the
treatment is hampered due to the individuality inguinodynia presentations.
