    Laparoscopic or Open Approach

    Thank you for clarifying the mesh issue, I really appreciate you! From what I’ve read, Dr. Goodyear uses the Prolene Mesh System and open repair. However, when I see him on July 2nd, I will make sure to ask what he plans to use in me – a very thin female. I know the pain I have now, but I would hate to have even more pain (from mesh or nerve damage?) after hernia surgery. Don’t suppose you have any surgeons in the Northeast to recommend?
