Finding no-mesh inguinal hernia surgeons on west coast?

I promote the use of tissue repair for inguinal hernia only in those who are
– super thin
– women
– have an inflammatory disorder
– infected

I for sure do not recommend it for:
– obese
– large build
– recurrent hernias

The American Hernia Society has a quality collaborative (www.ahsqc.org). It will soon be helping surgeons track their outcome for inguinal hernias and will help be the database nationally. Please ask your surgeon to sign up and add their patients to this.
