Encouraging percentages from Docs please!
As a hernia surgeon in the Boston area, you have options, but most of them involve the use of synthetic or biologic mesh. A laparoscopic transabdominal procedure or open or even a laparoscopic retrorectus repair (Rives-Stoppa) may be a very good option. It is difficult to make any specific recommendation with out a complete review of your history and complete physical exam. You can contact me at [email protected]

Laproscopic without catheter or open with mesh
I use catheters selectively with laparoscopic inguinal hernia repairs. I have performed lap repairs since 1993 and have never had a bladder injury. If a patient is at risk for urinary retention, a bladder scan can be performed in the OR after the patient voids and is asleep. If the bladder is empty, they is no need to place a catheter. Many surgeons will use a catheter for every case and this is not incorrect, I just prefer the selective catheterization technique.
