Shouldice hernia repair in the USA
I’m hoping to gather a list of surgeons in the USA who perform Shouldice hernia repair of the traditional variety, using no mesh and instead suturing the hernia closed with tissue only. This could potentially be helpful for patients who would like a Shouldice hernia repair but do not want to travel or are unable to travel to Toronto Canada where the famed Shouldice Clinic is located.
– Dr Shirin Towfigh in Los Angeles CA – Cedars Sinai and Beverly Hills Hernia Center
—– http://www.beverlyhillsherniacenter.com/hernia-surgery/hernia-repair-techniques/– Dr David Grischkan in Cleveland Ohio – Hernia Center of Ohio
—— http://www.herniasurgeries.com/treat1.htm– Dr Samer Sbayi in Long Island, New York – Stony Brook Medical Center
—– https://medicine.stonybrookmedicine.edu/surgery/blog/faqs-about-the-shouldice-hernia-repair– Dr Michael Reinhorn in Boston MA
