Oh dear. It just doesn’t seem to be overly confident with many/any surgeon or surgeries type.

Although I’d be inclined to go with Dr Kang.

Good luck everyone

[William Bryant]

Well done Mark, sei ounds good. Thanks for update. It’s amazing how many good reviews Dr. Kang gets here – must be very satisfying to see for prospective patientsrsysvs – thanks for helping that process.

Good luck in future with it. Hope it stays good

[William Bryant]

Another great review for Dr. Kang.

Thanks.

How’s the pain now?

[William Bryant]

It’s appalling isn’t it Good Intentions? Difficult to believe really. And the mesh manufacturer trying to teach via a video that’s wrong incredible.

Thanks for highlighting the aspects you did.

On a different topic, is there no chance of the forum either returning to previous format or having this one improved?

So many good posters seem to have disappeared.

[William Bryant]

How did it go? Was Dr Conze good? Was it a Shouldice repair?

[William Bryant]

That’s a good find Good Intentions. Hopefully it means tissue repairs will continue to be taught to some degree. The bassini repair perhaps could be re evaluated as it seems to have merit

[William Bryant]

Hello Derek,

I’m in similar situation to you and I’ve been waiting 2 years plus. Since both surgeries can cause unwanted effects I’m not rushing to surgery.

I do favour tissue repair.

If you’re on Facebook try and find hernia mesh hurts too forum.

Hello Watchful, glad you’re posting again. Bit scared to ask this, and you may think it impertinent, but hows your recovery going?

[William Bryant]

Thanks both!

Good Intentions you’re right I got that forum id on the two discussions I tried to start, that’s why one is a news item and not discussion. Hopefully the spam issue can be sorted even more in future

[William Bryant]

Hello Good Intentions, is there any connection to hernia surgery? Any good Finish hernia surgeons?

Most sports people go to Germany for hernia repairs. Although Glen Murray’s failed and he went to Prof. Lloyd in England.

[William Bryant]

I’ve googled redundant colon which means, I believe, it’s long, can see no mention of hernia as a consequence. At least it’s not one of the main ones that’s mentioned. Best of luck

[William Bryant]

Thanks for the updates Wellington..the one about Uber, papago and making sure address is correct by using a photo of the hospital is very very useful.

How much would you estimate the whole trip and opetation cost for the two week stay? If you don’t mind me asking

[William Bryant]

Actually the warning is about risk to structures that come from the abdomen and are in the hernia, rare. It says. Not sure if that would include bowel.

[William Bryant]

Thanks Good Intentions. I see what you’re saying. However I do remember reading the risks on a website of a hernia surgeon, relating to both mesh and tissue repairs, and it did point out there is a risk of damage to nearby strictures etc. I think that’s how it was termed.

[William Bryant]

Is it mesh surgery or tissue repair?

I believe there was a Dr Yunis patient who had bowel damaged.

[William Bryant]

One of the “selling” points of the Shouldice clinic was, when I enquired about that, they said you can always have a mesh repair if it fails. So hopefully the answer is correct. Especially hope so for jkt2 sake.

[William Bryant]

Sorry meant Wellington. No symptoms at 79 days … Very good news. Well done Dr. Kang

[William Bryant]

Brilliant Ken.

No symptoms at 79 days!

[William Bryant]

Good news Wellington. Thanks for update! Good to hear nearly a week and all going well… How long are you staying in Korea for in total?

[William Bryant]

I mean you’re another satisfied Dr Kang patient… Not me… Yet.

[William Bryant]

Thanks for the report Wellington..what country did you go from?

Hoping recovery is just as good all the way through for you.

Another satisfied Dr Kang patient!
