Jack2021 replied to the topic Dr. Kang – 1 Year update – Direct Hernia repair in the forum Hernia Discussion 3 weeks, 5 days ago
Dr Towfigh talked a bit about her thinking re tissue repairs for women in her Hernia Talk video with Dr Andreas Koch. They had similar perspectives on this, if I remember correctly.
The whole talk’s worth a watch for anyone who hasn’t seen it.

I agree Pinto, it can be really frustrating. It times out pretty quickly. I write my posts separately now and paste them across to avoid it happening.
It doesn’t seem to like multiple web links either.

Hi Dean,
Are you visiting Seoul to see Dr Kang?
As William said, if you are, please feedback on here about your experience.
For South Korea, the NHS Fit For Travel website says to confirm primary vaccination courses and boosters are up to date as recommended for life in Britain and to consider Hepatitis A; Hepatitis B; Rabies; Tetanus;…[Read more]

Jack2021 replied to the topic What's not to like about Desarda? in the forum Hernia Discussion 3 months, 3 weeks ago
With Dr Towfigh having talked about not rating the Desarda repair and Dr Kang seemingly not rating it either, it would be really interesting to hear what your opinions are @drtowfigh and @drkang regarding a couple of the studies published that appear to evidence that the Desarda repair is worth considering for low rates of recurrence and chronic…[Read more]

Jack2021 replied to the topic What's not to like about Desarda? in the forum Hernia Discussion 3 months, 3 weeks ago
From my research, I understand that Dr Light in the UK performs the Desarda repair under local anaesthetic without sedation.
I’ve not heard of any issues with this, though I’ve not managed to find reviews.

Prof Sheen offers a modified Shouldice, but rarely to people over 30. He’s a lap mesh specialist.

I’ve had a quick look at the video and it’s not Prof Sheen. I didn’t watch enough to ascertain if it was in the UK or not.

No offence taken Good intentions and apologies that I forgot to post the link you had to search for!
I tend to be very sceptical about supplements and there’s no replacing a healthy diet IMO.
As you say, if trials were to evidence successful results, that would certainly be interesting.

I came across an interesting article in The Guardian (UK) today on collagen and remembering previous discussion on here about it, I thought this may be if interest to some of you.

If you don’t have any luck with Dr Towfigh’s suggestion of Dr Radu, you can access Dr Koch, Dr Wiese and Dr Muschaweck through Biohernia – https://biohernia.com/.
You could call/send them the details you posted above and see if Biohernia are able to check if any of those three surgeons may be able to help, or recommend other surgeons alt…[Read more]

Jack2021 replied to the topic Pls help me choose among these 3 surgeons. thx. in the forum Hernia Discussion 8 months ago
Hi William,
I’ve previously contacted both Prof Lloyd’s office and Prof Sheen.
My understanding is that Prof Lloyd specialises only in mesh repairs for hernias and his ‘Lloyd release procedure’ for sports hernias. I’m pretty sure this was discussed and rejected as a good procedure during Dr Towfigh’s excellent recent discussion on Hernia Talk…[Read more]

Jack2021 replied to the topic Can a cord lipoma cause a visible bulge, and grow back? in the forum Hernia Discussion 8 months ago
I’d never heard of cord lipoma before.
It would be interesting to hear @drtowfigh’s thoughts on this.
This study states:
‘ A spermatic cord lipoma is found in 20–70% of all inguinal hernia repairs.
Spermatic cord lipoma seems to originate from preperitoneal fatty tissue within the internal spermatic fascia in topographical proximity to the…[Read more]

Just in case anyone hasn’t spotted it and would like to ask a question, the well renowned tissue repair hernia specialist, Dr Ulrike Muschaweck is on @drtowfigh’s Hernia Talk this week, so should be well worth a watch.

Hi Dr Towfigh,
Hope all’s good with you.
I’m very interested to see your Hernia Talk Q&A with Dr Ulrike Muschaweck.
I won’t be able to watch live though I’ll definitely watch the recording when you post it on YouTube.
Would it be possible to ask Dr Muschaweck about the following please:

In case you’re open to suggestions for Hernia Talk guests, I’d like to propose two please:

Jack2021 replied to the topic Where would you go for Shouldice surgery? in the forum Hernia Discussion 10 months ago
Hi Watchful,
Reassuring that the Shouldice hospital will listen to patient requests for specific surgeons, albeit without promising. I guess you’d have to be politely assertive on arrival that you’d only see whoever you’d enquired about. A longer the list of acceptable surgeons would hopefully raise the odds of getting one.
Thanks for repos…[Read more]

Jack2021 replied to the topic Other sites with good hernia repair discussions in the forum Hernia Discussion 10 months ago
Personally, I’ve found the patient.info site to be a poor resource vs this site, so echoing the points above, credit to @drtowfigh. Please do keep this site going @drtowfigh, it’s such a great resource and hopefully more surgeons with an interest in hernias will join, as I think they too would get a lot out of it that could inform their own practice.
