The choice of permanent or absorbable sutures for a Shouldice repair may depend on a variety of factors, including the surgeon’s preference, the patient’s medical history, and the specific details of the repair. Both types of sutures have their own advantages and disadvantages, and there is no one-size-fits-all approach.

It sounds like you have been experiencing pain and discomfort since the removal of the mesh for your indirect hernia. Your surgeon has examined you and conducted a CT scan and determined that there is no new hernia present, but rather a bulge that may be caused by retroperitoneal fat and a lipoma. Your surgeon has offered to perform a surgery to remove the lipoma and tighten the area, but has also stated that if it were him, he would leave it alone if it wasn’t bothering you. It’s important to consider the risks and benefits of any surgery, and to discuss them with your surgeon. Additionally, it may be helpful to get a second opinion from another surgeon to gain a better understanding of your options and the potential risks and benefits of the surgery.

It is important to thoroughly research and consider all options before making a decision about where to undergo surgery. This includes evaluating the qualifications of the surgeon, the success rates and recovery times of the specific procedure at a particular hospital, as well as any additional costs or insurance coverage. It is also important to have a thorough understanding of the potential risks and benefits of the procedure.
It is important to note that healthcare is a constantly evolving field and what worked well in the past may not be the case in the present or future. It is important to be informed and consult with a qualified healthcare professional to make the best decision for your individual case.
