The nerve fibers running through this area of the body are called the Peripheral nerves.
There are over 1,000,000 hernia repair surgeries in US annually with over 80% estimated to repair an inguinal hernia which is one of the leading causes of abdominal and groin pain. Complications from these procedures can include recurrent surgery, infection, pain and adhesions. Pain present in the abdominal and/or groin area can be just subtle, to completely debilitating. This type of pain does not always respond well to pharmacologic treatment options. Nerve blocks are the most common treatment, however they are not usually a solution for long-term relief.
Stimulation has been shown to provide pain relief for post surgical hernia pain.
Small wire-like devices are placed over the inflicted nerves around the hernia incision using a minimally invasive technique. The wires are activated from an external device that will energize the implant and block the nerve pain transmission signal to the brain. The result? The pain is reduced significantly, with some patients being completely pain free!
Stimulation uses electrical signals to interrupt pain signals to the brain.
A stimulator, the size of a very small wire with electrodes on it, is placed near the painful nerve to deliver electrical pulses. The intensity and frequency of the electrical current are able to alleviate vour pain and help you get back to a normal life.
