    Continued proliferation of Millikan tension-free plug and patch repair?

    I would echo Dr.Szotek’s comments. I remove at least one plug a month for pain. I highly recommend finding an experienced laparoscopic surgeon to fix your hernia.

    Thanks. Am I being shortsighted in having a bias (based on what little I’ve read so far) towards an open repair because of its single incision and avoidance of general anesthesia?
