Is there any consensus on which of the named non-mesh repairs has the lowest rate of recurrence and lowest rate of complications (e.g., nerve damage)?
–Shouldice
–McVay
–Disarda
–Bassini
(I might be missing some).

SORRY, the new format of the site does not allow me to edit my post, for this reason I only have to specify that the names of the European surgeons in my comment are extrapolated from a old list released by a Dr Desarda site and therefore they are not mine

To make a (very) long story relatively short, I am a 31 yo female and I am 3 months post op from a ventral hernia repair and repair of my oblique muscles (torn/damaged during component separation June 2018). The hernias were repaired this time (I have had 7 operations in total, with 2 recurrences following component sep surgery) with mesh placed…[Read more]
Alephy replied to the topic Possible explanation for mesh problems (from a product standpoint) in the forum Hernia Discussion 1 day, 5 hours ago

Interesting post….what about creating a mesh with “cloned” tissue from the patient in the future? at the very least no inflammation response will be triggered, which would also mean no nerves growing over it (not sure about adhesions though)? depending on the tissue the flexibility long term would also be guaranteed…

I cannot see the market…[Read more]

Same here even before the surgery….I am wondering if it’s a nerve connection somehow….although at rest I am fine..
deeoeraclea replied to the topic Need mesh removal + no-mesh repair. Options? in the forum Hernia Discussion 1 day, 23 hours ago

The mesh I have in me is supposedly light weight. I feel it and it causes pain. I wouldn’t put mesh in my body ever again. The fact is, nobody know how his/her body will respond to mesh once it’s in there.

I am in the same boat but my right side was put in open and is a preperitoneal patch so I think it is best to be removed laparoscopically. I have seen a few doctors recommended by this forum. They would remove the right and replace with a newer lighter weight mesh as well as fix the left side with mesh. All in one operation and doctors seem very…[Read more]

I had my left inguinal hernia repair 5 months ago and I have been suffering from lower back pain often now.

To deeoeraclea,

From what I have gathered from speaking with my doctor and other specialists non-mesh repair has to be done non-lapro, and even with removal that is generally how it appears to be done.

I still cannot understand how the patients recover so quickly after the surgery….and they get back to full activities in no time
deeoeraclea started the topic Need mesh removal + no-mesh repair. Options? in the forum Hernia Discussion 2 days, 8 hours ago

Title pretty much says it. I have a hernia on my left side that has progressed to the point that is is no longer possible to ignore in terms of pain (though, I believe it is still quite small). I had a hernia on my right side repaired with polyester progrip mesh 7 months ago and that made the pain much worse.

My understanding is that, as the…[Read more]

Hi all, I had my inguinal hernia fixed 8 weeks ago today, open surgery, and using a 2 inch by 1.5 inch light weight open weave Bard mesh. I’m ok most of the time , but occasionally I get a very slight burning under the wound which lasts for a day or so then seems to go for 5 or 6 days. I know it’s quite recent I had the op, done at Nuffield in…[Read more]

A surgeon hinted at this when visiting me, with the idea that he might have to repair both sides during laparoscopy…
I am not sure I am understanding why a repaired side increases the pressure on the other side: once repaired the original pressure if at all is restored, although an hernia on the other side might just occur, while being unrelated…[Read more]

Hello @drbrown and @drtowfigh
I was reading about Percutaneous Electrical Nerve Stimulation (PENS) and it is presented as it offers hope for relief. Can either of you, or any other doctors comment on it please? I had not heard of it before and it seems promising. Thanks in advance.

It is indeed really sad, now all new doctors only want to put mesh on us no matter what is the issue …. we are just money for them and they don’t really care about us as humans. Hope more doctors against mesh will come

I wonder if any of the doctors here can suggest doctors / resources that perform ablation for ilioinguinal neuropathy? I’m not too far from the Cleveland Clinic (in Columbus OH).
