    Chronic post herniorrhaphy pain (CPIP) affects patients' quality of life and can be nociceptive or neuropathic in nature.

  • 2

    The incidence of CPIP varies widely, reported between 0.7% and 43.3%, influenced by definitions and assessment methods.

  • 3

    Neurectomy, particularly triple neurectomy, is proposed for treating persistent neuropathic pain, but double neurectomy may have fewer complications.

  • 4

    The optimal surgical approach for neurectomy remains uncertain, with options including open, laparoscopic, and endoscopic techniques.

  • 5

    This meta-analysis aims to evaluate the efficacy of different neurectomy techniques and surgical approaches for managing CPIP.
