Medical bills are expensive and it would cost a lot but I agree that it would be good to have the out of pocket information because the insurance networks keep shrinking every year to be smaller and smaller.

It feels like in another couple of years the only thing insurance will cover is calling their own insurance company nurse line and they will still probably charge a high deductible for that too!!

I mean the risk in general or making one side worse if you only fix the other?

Is bilateral repair any different without mesh?

Did you feel it? How did you stay still?

Surgery makes me nervous, I don’t think I would be awake for it!

So it sounds like they sometimes do it for precaution since they’re already doing a surgery, but is it necessary or does it increase risk for the other side? Sounds like it’s open for opinion?

How was pain from surgery and how is it now? Was it bad? How big is the scar? I am impressed you went on vacation right after surgery you must feel pretty good??

Older surgeons have more experience so I do not see any negative. Same applies to many other industiries too.

Dr Brown I hope you have no plan to retire because you are a valuable asset to the medical community. Take plenty of vacation time for yourself, but please don’t retire any time soon, ha ha! Sorry to sound selfish but I said the same thing to my primary care when they told me they were retiring a few years ago, ha ha.

And as for all of us as we age as long as we stay inquisitive, keep learning, stay healthy as we can then age is nothing but a number.

Is it considered experiemntal to combine the two repair of Bassini with Desarda? How many times has the Dr performed that and what has been the success rate if you know? [USER=”2781″]G-K[/USER]

[USER=”935″]drtowfigh[/USER] do you have any thought on this surgery method?

Thank you for answering.

It is medical legal in my state and my doctor recommended for symptom management. Hard to believe times change like this!

I’m searching web nothing comes up with research for hernias for him. Found some about sport hernias but nothing for hernias.

So how to verify experience and outcomes?

Is Dr Thomas good surgeon and reputable? Desarda is new and unproven?

I have the same question, can anyone offer direct opinion for Dr WBrown as a patient or a doctor? Is he considered reputable and knowledgable? Considering him as option for inginual hernia repair.

Thanks

Brady
