quote UhOh!:Isn’t it premature to discuss repair types without knowing for certain the hernia type (direct vs. indirect)? Based on what Drs. Kang and Brown say about repair types, it sounds as though the majority of non-mesh techniques are best suited to direct hernias. At the same time, I’ve seen multiple sources suggest that the majority of hernias reaching the scrotum are indirect…Certainly! The more you know, the better! I had the opportunity to talk about the Desarda technique with Dr. Koch and he basically confirmed what people here on the forum are saying about Desarda technique in regards to hernia type, that is: it is not a one-size-fits-all technique, and it certainly is not a very good option for indirect hernias. So if you have indirect hernia, then the Desarda technique may not be your best option.
If you ask Dr. Desarda himself, he will tell you that it does work for both types of hernias. It may work for both types of hernias, but you may not have the best possible outcome if you have one or the other type of hernia. You also have to take into consideration many factors. It may be very successful technique for both types of hernias, but only if performed by the hands of its creator, Dr. Desarda himself.
1. Hernias reaching the scrotum, otherwise known as scrotal hernias, are indirect hernias.
2. Desarda technique is best suited for direct hernias.
3. My brother had his indirect (scrotal) hernia repaired without a mesh by Dr. Koch.
