If Ive read it right, as well as talking about Bassini being used for years, I think it says the oxford clinic has stopped laproscopic surgery as it is more likely to cause chronic pain if keyhole is used!
Isn’t that the exact opposite of the consenesus?

I think the repair that may have been common before mesh would have been Bassini. That’s the impression I get from Dr Greg Sadler at the uks Oxford hernia centre
If you look at his pdf notes he talks about it being a repair used for 100 years.

Ah, thanks for that Pinto!
I hadn’t considered it bit it does make sense I think. Even if small I’m not worried about the scar. Here’s why…
I had surgery and when my GP saw the after math, scar, so to speak he said “god he’s made a right mess of that”! But the procedure itself was good!However if a small scar means less pain, it’s win win for Dr Kang.
By the way, was I right in thinking it was your link to the sketch about hernia mesh surgery being introduced to surgeons? If so would it be possible to post it again. It summed up a lot of things.

Brilliant, looking forward to the next update Freeman.
I’m not too worried about scar either really. A good result is better. I already have a prominent 4 inch scar on stomach. It’ll match!
Dud you ever consider Dr Lorenz or Dr Conze?

Hello Swayze, would you mind linking to the self test please? I’ve had ultrasound NHS – told direct.
But three consultants, by touch and cough, have said indirect. So I’d be interested in seeing if I can tell.

That’s true Mark T, since WW1 I believe but would it have been so prevalent worldwide? For example an acquaintance who found out I had a hernia told me he had his repaired by the NHS and it was before mesh. Would the NHS have used Shouldice or bassini? This man, like chuck says, had no issues with his stitched repair other than walking out on discharge. Would you know what the preferred non mesh surgery was Mark? Or was that dependant on surgeon?
The reason/s for mesh are claimed to be it’s easier, quicker and less likely to recur I believe, Chuck.
In fact someone, Pinto I think, linked a comedy sketch about that… Hopefully someone can link to it again, sums it up really. Maybe Pinto will again.

Hello Freeman, thanks for the report. Could you name the surgeon as it’s very useful to those deciding where to go to know who the praise is for.
If you read other reports of operations, the surgeon is usually named … Good or bad. As this is a good result ot can only benefit the surgeon and future patients alike.

Fortunately it’s been kindly confirmed it wasn’t/isn’t Dr Lorenz. Very grateful for that information.

Players should be posters my phone ‘corrected’ it.

This was Ben 999’s post
“I’m not sure I can name the surgeon for legal reasons as I sued him and there’s a case going on right now.
I guess I can say that his clinic is near Coburg, Germany”.Any clues? That’s two German surgeons sued now. You’d never get that from the reviews so thanks ht and thanks to the two players who have told us, cryptically.

Just found another legal case against one the Germans following hernia repair, poster Ben999, doesn’t name the surgeon on here but says his clinic is “near Coburg Germany”.
I don’t know enough about the geography or location of all German hernia centers, any ideas anyone?
If you search forum using Coburg you’ll find ben 999s post.
Im worried as Spandau is five minutes from Coburg.

That is a problem with reviews, manipulation, I know that through a
bad experience I had with a little purchase once, if you read thoroughly every single 137 review as I did for them it was obvious many were same person.That said I have found the reviews interesting in as much as I didn’t realize Ralph Lorenz did Desarda as much as reviews suggest. He still had a shouldice himself though!?
I’m tending to think Lorenz and Conze are maybe a better choice than bio? But I haven’t compared prices yet.
Are Lorenz and Conze careful to spare nerves?
-
Ah, sorry Watchful, but at least we know he has a shouldice repair which does at least show he has confidence in it. I remember you’ve mentioned Janeda before, I shall try that.
I still would have thought there’d be a few more posters on here who have been to Germany for repair.
-
Thanks Good Intentions. Unfortunately it was Dr Koch that Baris had a bad experience with I think. Although John Fortem, and his brother, had good repairs. I think it was them.
I’d have thought they’d have been more reviews about Drs Koch, Weiss, Conze and Lorenz.
Maybe Watchful found some?
Lorenz, Watchful found out, had a shouldice, at Shouldice, so he is confident in that repair at least.

I remember reading that about pain prior being precursor for pain after Pinto, thanks for reminding me. That puts me in a greater dilemma as my hernia is relatively trouble free. For Mike to go from 7 pain to near enough zero after repair has to be a good result of have thought.
I think Mikes being as honest as he can and I find his posts about Dr Kang and his repair very insightful.
The main thing holding me back from Korea is distance but that has to be weighed up against the results you, Mike and the others have had who posted about it here.
-
It seems a lot of the possible complications are glossed over. I get that in private healthcare hence the quote in the article about they wouldn’t have any customers if they were told all the possible complications!
But I’ve had NHS surgeons gloss over the complications too. And that’s a free service in the most part.
Very interesting article. Thanks for finding and posting.
-
I totally empathise with Mike about the cutting near manhood.
A lot of people worry I’d imagine.
In relation to pain can Mike say how long the bad pain lasted?
-
Brilliant update Mike M, many thanks.
And ask Pinto for clarifying about the recurrence.Talking of cause I wonder if mine was self inflicted as I was doing stomach crunches or sit ups whatever they’re called to lose weight plus blowing up balloons to strengthen lungs as I have lung problem. But for work I lugged heavy office machines and boxes and boxes of paper. I’m annoyed with myself about the exercises but who knows it may have been the years of copier lifting and also I hds several chest infections one year with terrible coughing.
