title: [Treatment of neuralgia after surgical repair of inguinal hernia. Apropos of 47 cases].
abstract: A semiologic study is performed and therapeutic proposals are made on the basis of the anatomical and physiopathological data relating to residual neuralgia after the cure of a hernia. A series of 47 patients, 41 of whom were treated at the Multidisciplinary Pain Treatment Center of Avicenne Hospital (Bobigny) is analysed. The results are the following: 16 cures, 22 improvements, 6 failures, 3 patients lost to follow-up. The authors emphasize the difficulties of treatment, the poor effectiveness of second surgery as a rule, and the necessity of a general management.
