Reply To: William Bryant…your decision?

The problem with getting it addressed now is I could be swapping next to no symptoms for a whole worse situation. That’s the dilemma.

Do you know, Chuck, if Dr Kang can repair direct as well as indirect and also pantaloon hernias?

Like you I know a few people, directly, who have had mesh and no problems what so ever. Plus out of those, one of their sons had 3 hernias – all 3 mesh repaired non-issues. It’s baffling. Not one has had issues. They didn’t even know you can have non mesh and were all unaware mesh can cause problems.

That said, I’m not keen on mesh at all, although, as Pinto has pointed out, sine hernias would seem to need a mesh repair.
