    I guess that is my question… why is it not used to at least promote healing and have angiogenesis speed up the healing process… is their any negative I guess I am asking as in could the cell promotion create any negative effect as well

    I think the missing link her is that DOctor does the one step procedure… I don’t know the details of the procedure but the mesh is placed posterior via an open procedure

    Thank you dr Kang for your reply… if you have still interest in this thread of discussion would you mind giving your opinion of tissue repair success/challenges/risks of direct vs indirect hernia and also how each repair may impact flexibility

    Dr Kang what method would you employ for a direct hernia

  • I’m assuming there’s thousands of successes at the Canada Shouldice clinic considering how many they do and how long they have been doing it

    Dr towfigh in your experience with people who have chronic pain, do you find that those with tissue repairs are more manageable then the mesh cohort

    If 1 percent chronic pain was true… wouldn’t docs left and right be offering it or am I being foolish…. just seems to good to be true compared to what I see in the literature

    So both of you would agree that tissue repairs say at the Shouldice center result in similar chronic pain levels as say the mesh…I just can’t find data as it relates to the Shouldice clinic one way or the other… though they do mention a low recurrence rate I just wish it was more forthcoming in regards to the chronic pain
