Umbilical hernia repair: laparoscopic or open repair?

I have peripheral neuropathy in my lower legs. It's not really painful, just numbness and tightness. I'm wondering how hernia repair could result in new neuropathy which is what I inferred from your comment would happen.

I have not had mine repaired as I have not had anyone tell me that it's necessary at this time. Since it's not painful I'm not sure what needs to happen that would require repair.

I’ve heard that it could happen especially in inguinal hernia.
