• Indirect hernia

  Posted by Alephy on January 8, 2020 at 6:06 am

  How are indirect hernias treated in adults? Mesh as well as no mesh like with the direct ones? For the non mesh cases they just stich up? Cam they also do it in this case in laparoscopy?

  For the most part, with some technical details being left out, direct and indirect hernias are treated similarly, with mesh and without mesh.
  laparoscopic suturing is not performed as the angle and technical expertise required is complex.
  robotically, I do perform suture only hernia repairs

  [USER=”935″]drtowfigh[/USER] Do you mean that indirect hernias are generally stitched up with suture, not like a Shouldice etc., and they cannot be done laparoscopically?

  Yes.

  re laparoscopy: no.
  but I do offer robotic non mesh repair for inguinal hernias.
