As I mentioned in previous posts I had a Shouldice surgery in 13 th april ( Dr Wiese in Germany) and I can testify that I don’t have any sensation of tightness or tugging . The surgeon had stitched the groin incision with absorbable sutures. Otherwise it was a classical shouldice repair. I am in better condition than ever .

Hi Pinto, in the case of my own experience I had few soreness post operative . I took a total amount of 5 Ibuprofene pills the following days. . I have felt and feel less now what I call a “mechanical stretching of sutures” . I mean that when I stretch, twist or take some motions it pull ( gently by now) on the sutures.But when I walk I feel…[Read more]

Hi folks,
My incision is 4 cm long. I think that they don’t use exactly the same shouldice surgery in Germany. For example they have not used steel stiches but thread. I had a surgery for one small inguinal hernia a little bit more complicated because it was both direct and indirect hernia . I don’t care with the size of the incision . If you…[Read more]
