Question 1

When is non-mesh hernia repair used in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Non-mesh (tissue) repair is an option for some inguinal hernias (e.g. Shouldice, Desarda) and for small ventral hernias where primary closure is feasible. It may be preferred when mesh is not desired or when there is infection. Dr. Sharad Sharma offers these options at Hernia Surgery Clinic in Bandra and Vashi.

Question 2

What is Shouldice repair for inguinal hernia?

Accepted Answer

The Shouldice repair is a layered tissue repair for inguinal hernia, performed without mesh. It is a well-established technique with good long-term results when done by experienced surgeons. We offer Shouldice repair for suitable patients in Mumbai.

Question 3

What is Desarda repair for inguinal hernia?

Accepted Answer

The Desarda technique uses a strip of the patient's own fascia to reinforce the inguinal canal without synthetic mesh. It is a tissue-based option for inguinal hernia repair. Dr. Sharad Sharma can advise whether Desarda or Shouldice is appropriate for you.

Question 4

Is non-mesh repair more likely to recur?

Accepted Answer

Recurrence rates can be higher with tissue-only repair for large hernias. For suitable small hernias and in expert hands, recurrence rates with techniques like Shouldice can be low. Your surgeon will advise based on your hernia size and preferences.

Question 5

How much does non-mesh hernia repair cost in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Cost depends on the technique and hospital. We provide clear estimates at consultation. Non-mesh repair may have different cost implications than mesh repair. Contact our clinic for pricing tailored to your case.

Question 6

Which doctor is best for Shouldice repair in Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Dr. Sharad Sharma is a leading hernia surgeon in Mumbai with experience in Shouldice, Desarda and other tissue-based inguinal hernia repairs. He will recommend mesh vs non-mesh based on your hernia and preferences. Consult at our Bandra or Vashi clinic.

Question 7

Where can I get non-mesh hernia repair in Navi Mumbai?

Accepted Answer

Question 8

Can non-mesh repair be done for ventral hernia?

Accepted Answer

Small ventral hernias may sometimes be closed primarily without mesh. Larger ventral hernias have high recurrence rates without mesh reinforcement. We assess each patient and recommend the best option for your hernia size and risk factors.

Question 9

How long is recovery after non-mesh hernia surgery?

Accepted Answer

Recovery is often similar to mesh repair for inguinal hernias. We provide detailed instructions and follow-up care. Your surgeon will give you a personalised timeline at our Bandra and Vashi clinics.

Question 10

Why choose non-mesh hernia repair?

Accepted Answer

Some patients prefer to avoid synthetic mesh due to personal preference or concern about mesh-related complications. In suitable cases, Shouldice or Desarda can be a good option. We discuss all choices at consultation so you can make an informed decision.
