    No was just curious if I had gone no mesh route how successful it would have been
    Being classified as moderate

  • I to would be curious to know the answer
    But as a lay person not in medical profession I don’t see how the more you tinker
    With something the more you wouldn’t weaken something
    Just my opinion.
    Why did u have your mesh removed
    I have heard that when mesh is removed sometimes. The new tissue molded weakened tissues
    Together and no need to do any more repairs

    What about a surgeon that does not do any imaging or ultrasound
    Just cuts open does no mesh repair and then decides what type of repair he will do
    Either desarda or shouldice once he cuts hernia
    That is acceptable protocol
    Thanx

    Very thoughtful of you doc, I am supposed to have surgery April 8
    Called drs office no answer, called surgical center where procedure to take place
    They are now closed, kind of shocked they hadn’t called me to tell me it’s cancelled
    I have to travel 12 hours for operation and would have to have stayed in a hotel for a week
    I am in extreme discomfort and sporadic pain

    dr Brown, what happens if you have Crohn’s disease get a tissue repair and it fails
    To hold, what would be the next step to repair hernia
    Can you get multiple tissue repairs or would it then be necessary to get mesh

    Not trying to be cute or funny, but if removing mesh solved a problem
    Getting an erection or not would be the least of my concerns
    Hope it works out for u

    Back in the old days there were no choices, just pure tissue repair
    Seems like it worked then for plenty of folks

    I believe in my case I have a higher chance of reoccurrence do to having Crohn’s disease and enlarged prostate
    The reason in my mind my thinking is if I go with shouldice technique and it fails, all that suturing and cutting of cremaster muscle would be for nothing, can you do a shouldice technique on someone again if it fails the first time
    Another words a repeat shouldice technique

    Thanx for your reply, this might be a silly question but can you tell me which type
    Mesh repair using open technique would cause the least amount of urological problems
    For prostate issues
    Thanx
