The percentage of recurrency, for the prosthetic repair, is about 1 %. the real problem actually is the discconfort that can occour (modreate to high in 5-10% of cases.

Thank you for the question.
The possibility that you’ll get impotent after surgery are quite imppossible.
You have a little (1-2 %)possibility to get a severe neuralgya so called “inguinodynia”. This very high neuralgya can affect the erectile penis function and the ejaculation, but are very very few cases.
Slow down, easy,ask your Doctor about this. Good Luck
