    Dr Brown of Fremont, CA used the Marcy-Desarda technique on me during my May 22, 2019 operation. Good outcome, specially as it pertains to pain and inflammation and healing. You can check his website and schedule an online consultation.

    He sounds also promising. Thank you will read more about.

    quote Good intentions:

    As I understand things, both Dr. Brown and Dr. Kang understand groin anatomy and the various named techniques well enough to produce appropriate variations as they see fit. They asses each situation as they go and choose the most appropriate way to solve the problem.

    Also, as I understand things, the “Marcy” technique is used for indirect hernias. So the type of your hernia will matter.

    Both Dr. Brown and Dr. Kang have seen the damage that mesh can cause and have made a conscious and informed decision to avoid using mesh if possible. Named techniques, by their nature, are self-limiting. I would choose a surgeon who knows all of the techniques, and understands the basis behind them, and uses them in the way that is best for the patient..

    Good luck.

    Thank you for your response and it does make sense what you’re saying. I am seeing lots of positives for Dr Kang.

    Procedure in Germany would be convenient for me
    (distance and potential reimbursement). It interests me if how comparable is Dr Koch approach and procedure to the above surgeons. Unfortunately I am not seeing many recent comments about him.
