Have you had an inguinal hernia repaired by laparoscopic with mesh method?

Were there any complications during surgery?
What was your recovery time?
How long ago was your surgery?
Any issues with it?

I’ve had two inguinal hernia repairs (left & right sides, open surgery with no mesh) done in the 1990’s. Both previous hernias reoccured over a year ago. Tried to deal with the hernias with a truss. Tiered of the craping and pain. So I’m scheduled for laparoscopic hernia repair with mesh next week. I watched the operations on youtube. It’s pretty simple but it could easily go very wrong as sharp cutting tools work very close to critical blood vessels, sperm ducts and nerves. Areas appropriately named Triangle of Doom and Triangle of Pain.

Thanks! Good health and stay strong!
