Biohernia list a lot of sports people but some are probably sports hernia not true hernia as in inguinal hernia.

Mark H, there are one or two NHS surgeons who do tissue in the UK…
Duncan Light Desarda, Northumberland tynemouth area. Hasn’t done loads but feedback is good.
The war doctor London. I can’t remember his name but I’ll check in a minute. Believe Shouldice and by all accounts highly respected..He did Julia Bradburys surgery.
My partners in South Yorkshire so I do get north a bit. Not Bolton per se but have been near clitheroe and downham village. Nice pub, aspinall arms round there. And the dales I like!
My nhs was ultrasound that said direct but all 3 consultants I’ve seen have said indirect by touch and inspection so no idea really which I have or if it’s pantaloon.

I’m 61 !
What part of UK. I’m in South London.
Dr Kang is on my list. I have the Germans too. I hate flying. -
Just put of interest, do you know what the cost is? I’m in UK too.
Whilst search insurance I saw the NHS do s2 for treatment abroad, EU, I thought it was all ended with brexit. I know it doesn’t apply to Korea though

This might be more like it

These any good? There must be insurance as some people from UK have had Dr Kang repairs. Faith is one i remember.
Please can you let us know how you get on and good luck.
Has Stephen said what insurance you might need?

Thanks Ivan. Dr Kang with another satisfied patient.
What was the reason for staying off pain killers?
The pain sounds terrible.

This person has right sided

Mine is right sided David and a bowel movement sees it almost flat after.

Brilliant questions David. Wish I knew the answers!
Person who did the hernia Bible site did say losing weight helped relieve his symptoms and also after defecating his hernia virtually disappeared, I’ve noticed mine does. You may be onto something.
Others have said avoiding food that causes gas helps too.
With all the risks of hernia surgery itself plus the risks of anaesthetic I think Watchful waiting is certainly a good option.

Hello Lucas
I haven’t had my hernia repaired so don’t have personal experience of mesh or its removal but I do look at some hernia groups on Facebook.
One, hernia mesh hurts too, has a lot of posts from people who have had mesh taken out. You could look at that group if you are on Facebook.
Dr Krpata gets a lot of mentions and I think a recent person had or is having removal by Dr Billing I think.
Have a look it may be helpful
-
I’d say it’s a hybrid or combination of mesh and Shouldice suture. But you need answers from the forum experts!!!

Also “Herniorrhaphy leads to POUR anywhere between 5.9% and 38% of the time.”
Add in bph and being male and it increases more!
-
Thanks Good Intentions, I couldn’t see that rating but did find this
“In terms of anesthetic technique and the risk of POUR: spinal is greater than epidural is higher than general anesthesia”. Are any of those local?
-
I know! I thought that too. Most inappropriate. I think there are others too in a similar manner that don’t match what they describe.
