quote UhOh!:

Also, when you are comparing the outcomes, I’m assuming you’re referring to recurrence rates, as compared to your own open mesh-free recurrence rates (vs. the historically high recurrence rates reported overall during the pre-mesh era)?

HeyUhOh! But your question made me think..why from inside you can’t fix as durable as from outside ?

[dog]

drtowfigh That would be GREAT news! I spoke with Dr. Jonathan Yunis MD FACS ..according to him.{he already does them} .. but recovery similar to open ..so what is benefits ,,Is it also your experience outcome please let us know ?

[dog]

drtowfigh Dear Dr Thank You! for your expert opinion…I think everyone here would agree with your word “Sometimes ” but unfortunately it became common way to repair…like one tool fits All:}}}

[dog]

drtowfigh Thank You! But with robotic repair you possibly cant stitch it together as well as with open..correct ?

[dog]

People who advocate mesh surgeries never had them done on themselves

[dog]

Boy !!! why they put mash in the first place if they need to take it out and be able to fix it somehow..with out mesh.,. . ..Can you ONLY IMAGINE WHAT DAMAGE it is done to surrounding TISSUES and nerves..

Dear Doctor drtowfigh please let us know if it possibly very accurate {according to video} to remove mesh with robot ..why you can’t reliably to perform ROBOTIC no mesh surgery ….i assume once doctor remove mesh {on video } they must stitch everything together without mesh anyway?

[dog]

Good intentions HI ..LINK Doesn’t work ?

After a open non-mesh hernia repair the patient can expect to need pain pills for 2 to 3 days. Then switch over to Advil or Tylenol. Ice packs are very helpful. Compression shorts can also be very helpful. The patient can do all of his daily activities including lifting 25 pounds, driving a car, going upstairs, sex, and long walks. At three weeks the patient will have 70% of the final strength. At that point in time it is safe to start aerobic exercises. At six weeks the patient will have 90% of the final strength. And at that point in time can slowly return to sports.

I hope that the above is helpful.
Regards.

This is a very difficult question to answer as each surgeon that works on inguinal hernias would answer it differently.
Also clearly every patient is different and every patient’s anatomy is unique.

For me and my patients, after 8 weeks I expect that histologically the hernia is completely repaired and there should be no further disability associated with this problem. Therefore, there should be no restrictions after 8 weeks of recovery from an inguinal hernia repair.

Boy! Try too explain to that person { paco
J Low risk ..or using term statistically speaking bla bla bla… By the way today i received the call from the office of my original doctor who still trying to collect from me remains of fee for useless surgery he recommend with mesh….I still remember how smiling he was by telling me that he….pain can happened…and continue smiling was telling me about low statistics but horror stories … If i did it..passably could be in in bad shape for life..lucky to found this forum.

Dr. Shirin Towfigh, that started this forum, offers a no mesh robotic repair to a select group of patients that will do well with this type of repair. Not sure who qualifies, but certainly worth calling her office to get some information. She has been so helpful to me and is the most in depth hernia surgeon that I have been to and I have been to many of the top specialists! Dr. Andrew Wright is in Seattle. I know he is a hernia expert but don’t know specifics about his repairs. Wouldn’t hurt to call his office as well. Best wishes in finding the best repair for you that lets you live your active life pain free. I am still on that journey!

Dear Dr. Shirin Towfigh, drtowfigh Please let me know what advantages to mesh robotic repair ..against open one ?… Is it more save or faster recovery.? .more durable..less recurrence

Thanks for the message. I like to deal with issues scientifically and with an open mind.

I do not support abstinence from mesh repair at this time. That’s technically not possible. We do need better technology and some companies have a mission to develop them.

Dear
drtowfigh … Just wondering how technically was it possible before mesh was invented ? ..Term.” groin pain ” complication after hernia repair has become almost common from the time of that great invention…

quote drtowfigh:

It’s been a busy month or so…

Correct, this paper was not intended to be paper about postoperative outcomes, rather of preoperative workup and indications for mesh removal. One goal was to share our experience with the relative incidences of the various indications for mesh removal, with insight into whether specific types of repairs, mesh, techniques, or other clinical factors stand out among them. Also, in doing so, we were shocked to see a trend toward more patients requiring mesh removal after laparoscopic repairs and also more patients showing up with systemic mesh reactions.

We will followup wirh an outcomes paper soon.

Thank you dear dr drtowfigh for coming the right side of the battle..Would you consider to start petition to stop using mesh in the hernia repair..we all will support you! ..Myself i have a thousands followers :} Get media attention …..

.M G. Those photos speaks better then words… Unfortunately as i see many people coming to this place {forum} after the fact.. I was lucky to come before the { Doctors} implanted the peace of plastic…into the human body ..obviously my doctor also was telling me with a big smile ..how easy it is..and how low risk of side effect..Really ? They want to get quick result on expenses of the long term consequences
