I've been hearing a lot that open surgery is better than laparoscopic for inguinal hernia repair but I don't really get why - isn't keyhole surgery supposed to be less invasive with faster recovery? What makes open surgery the preferred option in most cases?
While laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair is generally preferred due to its minimally invasive nature and faster recovery, open surgery can sometimes be the better option depending on the individual's circumstances and the nature of the hernia. Open surgery offers the advantages of a single, larger incision and potentially easier access to the hernia sac, while laparoscopic surgery offers advantages like less pain, faster recovery, and less scarring.

I've been having some issues since my hernia operation in July. After taking a month off to rest, I went back to work in September, but now, a few months later, I'm feeling pain again in the same spot where the mesh was placed. Could it be because of extra work or maybe the cold weather affecting it? What should I do about this?
