Flank hernia surgeons in San Diego?
I am having a very difficult time trying to find a Doctor to perform a Petit Lumbar repair. I have called many surgeons and they have no experience with that operation and actually don’t perform them. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks,

Hello, did you ever find someone who would complete this operation?

Try Dr Shirin Towfigh in Los Angeles, at the very least I would assume her clinic could recommend someone.
Good luck and keep us updated on your case and decision making.

Here is an old thread that I just came across.

These guys have a description of it. At least. Looks like a very rare condition. Seems like they might know of someone with expertise.

Also looks like mesh has found another usage. It’s everywhere. If you’ve read some of the posts on the site, that could be a concern. Good luck.
