A member asked:
Should i try the shouldice clinic/method for a recurrent inguinal hernia repair, given the first repair was open mesh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You can try: any major medical center. Shouldice Center in Canada may be fine. There may be a facility closer to you that does laparoscopic repairs of recurrent hernias too. Ask your doctor about the specialists in your region.
