UK Surgeons for Tissue Repairs a list, or beginning of one
As I’ve stumbled across another UK surgeon who will perform a tissue repair, I thought a list may be useful as there seems to be so few in the UK and those are not as well known as the others around the world.
If anyone knows any more, please add, also any reviews.
Simon Bailey – Maidstone/Kent. Shouldice but less layers than original. Also mesh removal with positive review for removal. Trained by the Jones’s.
Duncan Light – North Shields/Tynemouth/Northumberland.
Desarda.Dr Pawlak- Devon or Cornwall. Forgotten his type of tissue repair.
Greg Sadler – Oxford. Modified Bassini.
Aali Sheen – Manchester. Highly respected surgeon. One time head of hernia society. Again forgotten his non mesh type.
The problems with most of these, if not all, is
lack of reviews for tissue repair.
They’re essentially mesh surgeons.
At least 2 state tissue repair is as likely, if not more so, to lead to pain/discomfort.Any others and/or any other information about these appreciated.

Just seen one person who had non mesh by Simon Bailey had a recurrence about 7 months later. May have had a 2nd repeat non mesh repair but in the end went for mesh.
This may be an isolated case. Only other patient article I’ve seen about Simon Bailey was mesh removal and that was brilliant praise and success.

Another possible UK non mesh surgeon
Simon Marsh of 108 Harley Street, think this is Shouldice based repair but in cases of “large” hernias a mesh plug is placed.Anyone have any more information on this surgeon at all?

From the daily mail…. “David Nott, a general surgeon in London, who told the Daily Mail that he has carried out operations to remove mesh after unsuccessful hernia operations in perhaps 20 patients over several years.
In these patients, he stated, the body seems to react to the synthetic mesh. Why it reacts in this way to an inert material is uncertain.”.

Dr David Nott – Chelsea NHS but mainly private I think. Very high profile, although I’d never heard of him until I stumbled across Julia Bradbury having had 3 repairs by him during a famous person search. Julia is a UK tv presenter by the way. He is known as the war doctor and has been in the newspapers but I must have missed it. He also has his own Foundation…
Doea some suture repairs but not sure which. Anyone else care to investigate.

I wondered why Greg Sandler did modified Bassini but it’s been re-evaluated.

Prof Sheen offers a modified Shouldice, but rarely to people over 30. He’s a lap mesh specialist.

I’ve had a quick look at the video and it’s not Prof Sheen. I didn’t watch enough to ascertain if it was in the UK or not.

It might be him. Here’s the video:
The Germans I mentioned do primarily Shouldice and Lichtenstein, not 5 types of hernia surgery.
-
Might it be Dr Aali Sheen? Watchful.
Not ruled Germany out but there’s posts on here asking how can one surgeon be competent in 5 types of hernia surgery?

There’s a BioHernia video demonstrating Shouldice performed by a surgeon who I thought was located in the UK, although I’m not sure. I think he was Indian and mentioned that he does more mesh now because that doesn’t take as long. I always wondered who this surgeon was – he seemed very competent with Shouldice.
Like I mentioned before, if I were in the UK and wanted tissue repair, I would just go to Germany.
