Left Flank Hernia”Rare”
For this type of hernia, cadaver tissue will not hold and has a very high recurrence rate.
This type of hernia is best performed in the hands of a general surgeon or trauma surgeon who has experience repairing these particular traumatic hernias. In my experience, I have had to repair many of these as redos and it’s just much better for the patient to have the first repair a secure one.
And mesh can always be removed. It’s just a risk/benefit ratio.
