Hi guys new user here. I was just diagnosed with a inguinal hernia, gotta clarify with doc if its indirect or direct however I am 32 active with weightlifting and sports and looking for best repair option.

I have narrowed it down to Kang and Desarda with Dr. Robert Tomas. Obviously a trip to FL would be a bit easier for me but wondering if benefits of Kang’s is worth the trip.

I did notice everyone talking about types of sutures Dr. Robert Tomas uses. After browsing on his site I came across this:

“Dr. Tomas uses absorbable sutures on the skin and subcutaneous tissue and uses absorbable sutures for re-constructing the floor with a one inch strip of the external oblique aponeurosis which is the muscle that covers the inguinal canal..” https://ufirstrejuvenation.com/no-mesh-hernia-and-surgery-center/hernia-surgery-faqs/

So I hope that helps clear up any confusion.

Can anyone recommend pros and cons of Desarda vs Kang… My doc here just wanted to do a robotic mesh.. =(
