hello there,
a past surgery of hernia in no way can cause impotency. Secondly I would like to differentiate between impotency and infertility. Impotency means when your boyfriend cannot have an erection while infertility means that your boyfriend can have erection but you cannot get pregnant due to some problem in the guy's sperm. Both of them are not complications of a regular hernia surgery.
Hope this addresses your query,
