    Thanks Levi, My plan is to see if I can just get it to a point where it doesn’t require surgery.
    If I did go the surgery rout my goal would be as minimal of a procedure as possible. No mesh, absorbable PDS, facia only repair, main nerve branches preserved, maintain a functioning cremaster. (minimal or modified sholdice)

    Does anyone know of a surgeon near minnesota that performs a quality tissue only repair?
    The seemingly least invasive repair I have found in the states is with Dr Grischkan in OH, two layer Sholdice, does anyone have any experience with this guy? Or maybe a robotic no mesh repair from Dr Towfigh.

    Finally is there anyone trying to pioneer a better approach than what exists?
    maybe something to facilitate facia remodeling by injection? Prolotherapy?
    It seems like Dr Towfigh might be on the forefront in regard to alternatives.

    I know this was multifaceted but any replies are appreciated.
    Thanks!
