“The Shouldice technique is a four-layer darn of stainless steel wire. This conceptually is a stainless-steel mesh that is formed in situ. This would explain why there is no difference in chronic pain with the randomised trials.”

We don’t read much about pain related to non-mesh repairs.

I watched some youtube repairs with Shouldice method: there is also going in a lot of suture wire. The body is going to attck this also probably?

I will try to have an appointment with that doctor and ask if my hernia can be repaired with Shouldice. I doubt it will be possible. Another difference USA/Canada: surgery is done with local sedation, and in Belgium general or spinal.

On the website of his hospital:
“Although there are different techniques for repairing inguinal hernias without using a prosthesis (also called a “net”), the current guidelines of the European Association for Abdominal Wall Surgery (EHS) prescribe that an inguinal hernia in an adult is best repaired by a prosthesis. abdominal wall prosthesis.”Probably no change to have Shouldice there. So why is this doctor on your list.

You list Muysoms :I search and I find Dr. Filip Muysoms, MD, PhD in Belgium (where I live). Does this doctor could still perform Shouldice?
-
Still no answer on the last question.

Is there a limit in size of the hernia for tissue repair? Koch: max size of tennisball but how to I have to check the size of my hernia with that description? Maybe the Shouldice clinic gives good results because they only treath small hernia’s.

I found another surgeon that could do shouldice in Belgium. But it is not standard procedure offered.
Once you learned to do asa surgeon you keep on having all the knowledge even you don’t do it regurlaly? -
Muysoms : Dr. Filip Muysoms, MD, PhD? This one works in Belgium

Any doctor in Belgium or the Netherlands that can still do Shouldice?
By the time I can go to Koch my hernia will be too big.The Netherlands are now promoting TREPP everywhere, while in Belgium I find one TIPP hispital, all the rest is still on Lichtenstein.
