I already said above it was keyhole surgey (1 cm incisions - one for the scope and the other for the surgical instruments).
Inguinal hernia simply means that it is occurring through the inguinal canal regardless of the cause. I've known people who have never done a day of sport in their lives but still develop inguinal hernia.

You sound like a bit of a wuss to me. It goes without saying that you're going to have more pain immediately after operation but after everything has healed you should be pain free.
In many aspects of life short term pain is required in order to gain long term benefits. This is true when it comes to finances or sports activity and is certainly true when it comes to hernia operations too.
