@Freeman, congratulations on the success. No surgery is without risk. You are saying you only had one hernia yet the surgeon said it was a combination of indirect and direct IH. From your description it appears you never had an ultrasound (or other imaging) and this “combination” became known only during the course of surgery. Wouldn’t a combination be literally impossible technically speaking? Aren’t they one or the other? Much has been posted at HT, for example, how they merit different surgical methodology. 🙂 This could warrant a thread dedicated to answering this.
