Reply To: The Nuremberg Code and the ethics of the secret ‘Kang Repair’

[Watchful]

Dr. Kang did explain his techniques on this forum in the past. Not in every minute detail, but he said what he does.

Based on my understanding of what he wrote:

For an indirect hernia, it’s a Marcy variant. He has his own way of stitching the internal ring, and he has gone through many tweaks of that, but we know what he does in principle.

For a direct hernia, it sounds like a partial Shouldice-type repair where he reconstructs only the direct area, and leaves the internal ring area alone.
