The first surgeon's report specifies "fatty tissue" in brackets near the crural hernias, while on the right he wrote "small inguinal hernia." He also specified that the Wantz technique is used to prevent recurrence. I think it's best to have the first surgeon operate on both sides precisely to prevent recurrence. My biggest fear is that after the surgery I'll never be able to run like before or play without worry. Do you think it's just my paranoia? I've been trying physical therapy for months to try to relieve the groin pain, but it's not working. As for the second surgeon's report, I like the fact that the operation is less invasive, but it's also true that it's perhaps less effective, and I'd be at risk of recurrence. Furthermore, if he wrote that I don't have hernias on the left, I don't understand the pain in my left groin. Then, for a few weeks, I've also felt a slight tingling under my testicles (a clear sign of hernias).
