    I am unfamiliar with the muscle you mentioned, but Dr Grischkan made no mention of removing any muscle. He also said he does not cut any nerves as some like Sbayi do (to my knowledge). His surgical report made no mention of removing any muscle as well. He’s a low key and very impressive guy passionate about not using mesh. He has done 24k operations and has an impressive facility. If it’s worth it to you to go to Ohio, I’d get a consult.

    I too live in the NYC area which is chock full of surgeons. For non-mesh surgery however, I ended up going to Dr. Grischkan in Ohio. My hernia was massive, but Dr. Grischkan repaired it with no mesh. It’s been 3 weeks and the healing was rough at first, but I’m over the worst of it. So far so good. I am more than impressed with this surgeon’s skill, experience (24k hernia operations) and commitment to not using mesh whenever possible. PS. He doesn’t take insurance, and he ain’t cheap, but NOT having a sheet of plastic in me for the rest of my life is priceless.
