Inguinal hernia repair without mesh. Desarda?
Fellow patient here, not a doctor… so take that for whatever it is…
The only US doctor I know of who does Desarda repair is Dr Robert Tomas out of Florida.
In California I know of three doctors who do non mesh repair;
– Dr. David Johnson in Palm Springs, does Shouldice repair on select patients
– Dr William Brown in Fremont, not sure what repair type
– Dr Shirin Towfigh in Los Angeles (from these great forums), who performs non-mesh on select patients
I am sure there are others out there too, but I am personally not aware of them and haven’t seen them in my own research efforts.
Keep in mind that non mesh repair is largely patient dependent, meaning it is not always viable for all patients. Things like patient weight and tissue quality matter considerably from what I understand.
Best of luck, considering keeping the forum updated on your decision making and progress.
