Hello!
I recommend Desarda all the way. The shouldice uses steel wire sutures, where as the desarda uses ones that dissolve after 90 days. Plus, I’ve done my research looking into dr. desarda who created the technique, and he endorses the man in Florida who does the desarda repair (the man in florida, dr. tomas is the only one in the USA that desarda personally trained), and he’s been doing it for many MANY years. I’ve read great things about shouldice, but i’ve also read a lot of patients that say they don’t have the same flexibility in the area and that they always feel a tugging because of the wire (which makes me nervous because anyone that’s active will feel that).
Hope this helps!
