Hello,my name is Brian and i am an American living in the uk.I was diagnosed with a right inguinal hernia in nov 2020,after reading about Mesh and talking to several people about the problems they had with their experiences with this procedure i decided this was not for me.What with the lockdown and operations cancelled here i did not get my Hernia fixed until 10 months later. After much resherch i went to Cottbus in Germany and had a Shouldice repair performed by Dr Andreas Koch using 4 layers of permanent sutures due to my age 64, no pain at all now. If you live in the US, there is a surgeon in Sarasota, Florida, Dr Jonathan Yunis who is very experienced as well.

Hi,i too live in the uk in the south east.The only surgeon i have found is a Consultant General Surgeon Simon Bailey,at KIMS Hospital maidstone in Kent,he does Shouldice Hernia repairs with dissolvable sutures.I too am looking to have this done,but have yet to find any of his patient reviews anywhere,this is making me very nervous.
