I am 55 years old with diabetes & inguinal hernia. Don't want hernia repair with mesh. Can your new method without mesh be used on me?

I am 28 years old and am a very active person, fitness-wise I do gym, play basketball. 5 years before, on my left side, I had a repaired inguinal hernia with traditional tension method and my full recovery in last 8 months, before I started training. Now I have a hernia on my opposite, the right side. Dr Desarda's repair is my choice but I'm from Macedonia, Europe. Where in Europe can I get this operation performed. Thanks, please forward. Dr.Desarda is a genius.

Dr. I've had hernia operations on both sides, three times on the right side and two times on the left side. The left side is out again. I have very little problem with it but have been thinking about having it fixed again. the problen is which type operation should I have done. I do not know if they used a mesh and if I have it repaired is it inportant to have the mesh removed. Plus I have noticed my penis size seem to have gotten shorter by at least 1 inch an it was short enough before the operation. When they're doing the operation is there something they can do to bring my penis back to its normal size again. My age is 67. I have a mechanical heart valve and I'm on Warfarin. Any an all help would be greatly appreciated.

I am glad to see that they are making improvements in this field. Previously, the abdomen was pretty much considered no-mans land and doctors did not have the knowledge or instruments they have today. There is such a complex anatomy in that region and there are still pathologies associated with it that are largely unexplained. I have been dealing with varicocelle which sucks, I feel it constantly.

Id like to make a comment on the above article, be sure that before you go for surgery that you get a very good diagnosis from a specialist. It is easy for them to misdiagnose due to the complex nature of the anatomy in the region. Sometimes groin and lower back pain is not in fact related to a hernia, it could be pubalgia, if you are athletic this may be something you are dealing with. Its usually caused by a hyper-extension and/or tear of the abdominal aponeurosis. But due to its proximity to the inguinal region it can refer pain to the lower back, abdomen as well as the testicles.
