Hernia Surgery Fort Myers, Naples, Cape Coral, FL
There are many different types of hernias. The main types are inguinal hernia (groin), umbilical hernia (belly button hernia) and incisional hernias. A patient will first notice a bulge that can increase in size if it is left untreated. The hernia can sometimes cause pain and possibly involve intestines that can twist inside the hernia sac. If left untreated for a long period of time the intestine can become damaged and require cutting out the damaged bowel. The treatment for this is to repair the defect early before further problems arise. This repair usually involves a mesh and this can be done as a laparoscopic verses open technique.

No Mesh Tension Free Inguinal Hernia Repair
Now you can get your hernia repair without mesh and it is as strong as a repair as if you had mesh. This is a new technique that incorporates your own body wall (fascia) into the repair with two layers of support.
Here you see a photo of a hernia protruding

The first layer is used to cover the defective floor of the inguinal canal and as you can see the hernia sac is no longer visible.

Then, to reinforce the floor a second layer of protection is used with the inner muscle belly of the inguinal canal.

NO MESH REQUIRED FOR THIS REPAIR.
