Depending on technique- open vs. Robotic approach, inguinal hernia repair is very successful. About 97% of the repairs are still intact 5 years after the procedure.
Various studies show 5-10 percent recurrence rate and best recurrence rates when mesh reinforcement is used.
The change of recurrence is about 1-2% after hernia repair.
With mesh, the success rate is very high.
