Specialist Overview: Understanding and Mitigating Chronic Pain
Chronic Post-Herniorrhaphy Pain (CPHP)—defined as pain lasting more than three months after surgery—is a complex issue that the surgical community has worked tirelessly to address. At California Hernia Specialists, our entire surgical philosophy is built around the prevention of this condition. While national averages for chronic pain can range from 10% to 12% in general surgical settings, our specialized, high-volume approach aims to reduce this risk to the absolute lowest biological possibility. Our data demonstrates a chronic pain rate of less than 1%.
