Medium inguinal Hernia – Traditional Tension Repair

Hi HowardF,

This may or may not be helpful to you, but there is a Dr William Brown in Fremont California who specializes in “sports hernias” and does a tissue repair for it. Yes a sports hernia is different from a real groin hernia, but my understanding is the repair is similar to a ‘real hernia’ repair and sometimes real hernias are found during the procedure, so there must be an understanding of both conditions. It could be a resource for you to consult with, or maybe not, I have no experience beyond just stumbling across the doctors name and site a few times from researching my own condition.

If you do decide to have a tissue repair or a biologic laparoscopic repair, please do post back with your results, surgeon, and experience, there are many of us who would be interested in hearing about the experience!
