    Hi Ddot14, according to HerniaSurge, as per the evidence published so far, Shouldice technique is the best non-mesh repair. They concluded that Desarda repair, at this point, simply do not have required data regarding its outcome, and shied away from recommending it.

    I asked Dr Grischkan about the Desarda method and his response was that it has not been around long enough to demonstrate long-term success. He did not appear impressed with it. I do know someone who did great after seeing Dr Tomas in Ft Meyers – he was up and walking that same afternoon with hardly any discomfort.
