Surgery day!

We truly loved surgical center..unlike the big hospital ..we felt those people truly care ! It was very simple come into room redress and they will move you to surgery room. It was funny ….i still was afraid of any mistakes { knowing our medical system} so even marked with arrow side of body where to opriate …but they did mark it with even bigger letters DO and DONT on opposite side:} …I was thinking that will not see doctor before surgery ..so texting him kind remainder don’t take too much out of position spermatic cord to prevent any latter pain in that regard.

To my big surprise Dr come himself in my room and personally to put into my blanket kind of worm air hose to comfort me and we together came to surgery room. We also decided .using just partial local sedation and not complete sleep…that i believe was much easier on me once he done it.
I didn’t feel anything …Doctor told me that i had both { hiden} direct and obvious indirect hernia ..so that was a bit surprised so he changed his original plan a bit …i am sure Dr Brown DrBrown can give more details here. He gave me photos and CD..where recoded step by step surgery

Make a long story short. After surgery i didn’t feel any pain and was ready drive home…but my Wife said NO :}}} And we drove to hotel to start recovery process.

A little Background!

It is happen about one YEAR ago ,when i suddenly noted sharp pain in low part of the stomach around left testical and leg ..pain was stronger when i walk and come down when i rest. I hoped it will go away . Well.. went to doctor he told me that ultrocoinick shoede somewater acumylashion into testicical me anti inflammatory/ antibiotic treatment …Believe or not pain disappear for awhile ..but one i noted a big bulge on my r side .
Went to doctor again that day was diagnosed with hernia .

Letting you know secretly :} that a am myself quite renowned expert in dog training industry and have very influential clientes. They introduce me to one top doctor in well know Hospital here in Newport beach.
It was 20 minute visit ..doctor offered me meash ..he even told me that he put a bigger patch to cover and left side as well..just in case …Can you only imagine ? …He told me pain may happen you also possibly may haVE FEELING of mash in body.. he was smiling .and laughing…….. i received 300 dollar bill later ..omg ….Well i found this forum and gradually become “antimesh radical ” I started my research.

In the beginning i was like many of you looking for the best method…but soon i realized that it wasn’t a good plane ..what if that method isn’t the best method…”One tool never fits all ” So from that time i started my search for doctor. I wonted to travel less ,i wanted doctor was hernia only doctor and of course take my insurance.

quote drtowfigh:

Some comments:

– there is still risk of chronic pain after surgery with absorbable mesh because it’s still surgery. This is more common in the groin area, where you have to cut and sew around sensitive areas including nerves. Don’t forget there is chronic pain for hernia repair without any mesh (for inguinal hernias).
– with abdominal wall (not groin) hernia, we tend to close the defect and not patch it, though the patch remains a common and accepted repair option.
– Are you referring to groin hernias only? I believe that is what Sr Kang has been referring.
– the slowly absorbable new synthethic absorbable mesh (Tigr and Phasix) are inflammatory products. They are also quite expensive.
– We have not proven the theory that though the first year’s healing time is most important, absorbing afterward will not adversely affect the recurrence rate. It’s a good marketing idea. Likely, the recurrence rate may just be shifted over by a year or two.

Dear Dr Towfigh, Thank you for your feedback! regarding chronic pain ….would you kindly agree that ” to cut and sew around sensitive areas
and nerves” would it be more matter of picking method and masterclass to implement meticulously { but not blame that surgery itself and risk associated with it.
I would understand if person have heart attack ,some body unusual reaction ..blood too thin or something non related or unpredictable .
If surgeon would work like a plastic surgeon that would not be a problem…
Please correct me if i am wrong..drtowfigh

Dear Dr Kang!

Thank you for contributing to this forum as a great expert! I love your style of politeness but you still making your point.

Thank YOU!

If i understood your correctly, you more prefer doctors who would do no mesh only..like You or Dr Brown who i like very much …distinctive No mesh activist. .Members please plug someone else you know ..i don’t ?

Well ..Yes doctor Yunis, use mesh as well. But he is also developing new approach with mesh with less side effects.

Regarding no mesh …Yes unlike You and dr Brown , Dr Yunis will use the only one metode” Shouldice ” but he will get it done it perfectly well .

! i spoke with a few of his patients ..they love it. and Great Feedback about his work also is all over the internet .

Dr. Yunis is former vascular surgeon ..he knows how to work around sensitive nerves saturated places { inguinal hernia} to get it done meticulously carefully.

. I influenced him to contact Prof. Desarda..i was very pleased that he is now about to offer Desarda method as well.

Dr Kang If your method would be available i know that he would consider it as well.

He also is very innovative and currently developing no mesh surgery with laparoscopic / robot only to get it done from inside. Our moderator Dr Towfigh also working toward that goal

I don’t know all details but believe me both of them are excellent and distinctive doctors.

Also out of curiosity you never ever seen a patients who you believe that it is just impossible to do no mesh ?
When dr. Kang drkang method will be published ?
