    Is your hernia inguinal, femoral, umbilical, or other? It’s fairly difficult to find inguinal/femoral non-mesh repairs, whereas it’s easier to find non-mesh umbilical hernia repairs.

    Known non-mesh inguinal hernia surgeons in southern California and the southwest USA include the following:

    – Dr Shirin Towfigh in Los Angeles, CA

    – Dr Edward Phillips in Los Angeles, CA

    – Dr Robert Burns in Newport Beach, CA

    – Dr William Brown in Fremont, CA

    – Dr Kevin Petersen in Las Vegas, NV

    – Dr Zafar Parvez in Gallup, NM

    – Dr. John Etlinger in San Antonio, TX

    There are certainly others, perhaps others can share more providers offering these treatments.

    Good luck and keep us updated on your case.

    Search for Chaunce1234’s previous posts. He often includes a list in his responses. Another term used is “pure tissue repair”, or suture repair, instead of no-mesh.

    Dr. Towfigh, the site administrator and founder, is in Beverly Hills and could give you good advice also. She offers online consultations. https://twitter.com/Herniadoc

    Good luck.
