Gilmore’s groin with adductor tenotomy

In about 20% of people with Gilmore’s Groin (groin disruption, sportsman’s “hernia”) there will also be an adductor tear that needs surgery. if this is the case the two operations are done at the same time. The groin is repaired (reconstructed) through a standard 4-5cm incision in the groin and the adductor tenotomy is carried out through a 2-3cm incision at the top of the thigh.
