Although Dr. Kang’s surgery hernia surgery has had a positive reception in this forum, it’s important to remember that a mesh removal is a whole different ballpark than a hernia surgery.
I understand you are in a desperate situation but i would caution that you take anyone’s words as a gospel.I do sympathize with your situation though which…[Read more]

Forgot to mention, my occult hernia is a factor in why i am going to Kang instead. Shouldice doesn’t operate on small hernias. My occult hernia is causing pain and i need it addressed

I actually live right across shouldice hospital and despite this i will go and get treatment from Dr Kang.
The issue with shouldice is that they’ve committed to the “if it ain’t broken don’t fix it” attitude. Shouldice still refuses to use sonography as a tool for diagnosis. They still do the traditional physical examination method only. When…[Read more]

When a doctor performs high ligation on the Peritoneum and the ends are tied off, do they typically use an absorbable suture when tying it?
I am guessing the part that is tied begins to heal together afterwards?I am trying to understand how this all works with a limit knowledge. If they tie it off with a permanent suture, it would create a…[Read more]

Yeah the quarantine requirement is 14 days unless you apply for a quarantine exemption. If you want to go get dr kang’s surgery, it’s likely you would have to wait until the lockdown is over.

From what i know, Dr Kang uses pds suture which are slow absorbable (130-180 days to fully absorb)
I am a korean american looking to get dr kang’s surgery once the pandemic ends. I will probably update once i get one. However, there is a story written by a korean woman on her blog about her experience with the surgery. She became pregnant 1 year…[Read more]

dan replied to the topic How to tell the difference between Femoral and Inguinal Hernia in the forum Hernia Discussion 1 year, 3 months ago
I heard that smaller hernias are much more likely to get incarcerated. Except i haven’t seen a study confirming this. It seems to be like something that has become widely considered as truth simply due to it being repeated often. Not sure if you can confirm or not

So i got a ultrasound done on my right side and it looks like i have a hernia… Except it doesn’t tell me which type of hernia it is. And my GP seems to be clueless as well. He gave me a reference to shouldice (i pretty much live right across it). But from what i’ve read, it’s hard to figure out between femoral and inguinal hernia just with…[Read more]
