The gold standard of hernia repair is the Sholdice method

Very important and well done. Thank you!!!

Glad to have seen this discussion. Great info. (71 yr old female with 5-yr inguinal hernia.) Glad to know I may not need to have to fix it. Wish to avoid the mesh, as already had existing pelvic inflammation. Hernia occurred from bowel obstruction due to di-calcium phosphate ingredient in a B2 vitamin. Did not recognize it to be the cause until a 2nd occurrence of taking it a couple weeks later. Thanks again.

Wow! What a great service, making this expertise more broadly available. I am in midst of decision making regarding umbilical hernia.

If there's a pain, posture or rehab-related topic that you'd like to see a video about, leave your suggestion down below. Cheers!

In 2022 I had a laparoscopic appendectomy. I have had recurring pain in the left abdominal area for almost 2 years. For about 3 months I have often felt increased pain and hardening when bending over, which disappear after about a minute and I can push this thickening back into the abdomen. It also seems to me that the food stays in the system longer. I'm now sure that I have a hernia and tomorrow I'm going straight to the hospital for a diagnosis.

Soooo informative. Grateful for all you do for us. Have hernia from constipation all is painless.

Wonderful information I have abdominal hernia need surgery

That's what I call making good use of your resources. I can't think of anything you didn’t ask the doctor.

I had inguinal repair with out mesh doctor used my own tissue minimally invasive, it was fast recovery doctor told me takes a month for any restrictions but i gave myself 2 months and now hit the gym with no problems i dont do power lifting tho just cause i never done it and it may be lil risky

*Tips and information for recovering from Hernia Surgery if you live alone.* These are things you should do before you leave the house to go for surgery. This includes but is not limited to: Cook and prepare a week’s worth of meals and snacks before surgery. Meals that will be easy to pass through your digestive system. Things like vegetable soup with beans, carrots, celery…, oatmeal with prunes, egg salad, chicken salad, steamed carrots, broccoli, asparagus… low fat and low grease type foods. Snacks like apples, oranges, *ripe* bananas, all kinds of fruits and berries are good to keep things moving. Start taking a stool softener one or two days before surgery and then continue taking it when you get back home. Wear loose fitting clothes to the hospital and continue to do so when you get back home. Example: I took a shower that morning with an antibacterial soap, I wore clean socks, slippers, sweatpants with no underpants, a T-Shirt, and no jewelry of any kind. In a ziplock bag place your keys, ID card, a credit card, medical insurance cards, and give it to your driver to hold. Do not take your phone to surgery. Leave your phone at home, on your nightstand, and fully charged. Place something next to your toilet you can grab onto to help you get on and off the toilet. Do the same for your bed and other areas you may sit. Have toothpaste, toothbrush, and floss out and ready to use. A glass to use for water to rinse out your mouth. You’re not going to be able to bend over to _cup water_ into your hands. If you don’t already have a _grabber,_ get one. Place a thermometer on your nightstand and make sure it is in working order. Have on hand at least two ice packs that you can wrap a clean cloth around to put over the location of surgery and rotate them from the freezer as needed. This will keep the swelling down. Read your after surgery instructions and follow them. Listen to your doctor and follow his/her orders. Keep the wound area clean and GENTALY clean it with an antibacterial soap every morning and again before you go to bed at night. Have clean sheets on your bed. The next day get up and walk but be careful. I walked outside twice around the cul-de-sac four times a day starting the day right after surgery. Twice in the morning, once in the afternoon, and then again in the evening. Have plenty of water and Gatorade on hand, and before you leave for surgery place a few bottles on your nightstand, computer desk, kitchen table, kitchen counters, your television chair, and in your refrigerator. Drink plenty of liquids. At least four bottles per day. Take pain medication as needed but don’t overdo it. All pain medications can cause constipation and trust me, you don’t want that. A list of movies you may want to watch. I am not going to sugarcoat this for you. It’s going to be hard. The first three days are not going to be pretty, they are hard and tough, so be ready. It gets easier on your fourth day. Good luck and I hope this helps.

had mesh done in 2020.In 2021 i had a fibroid myomectomy and the gyn surgeon cut through the mesh repair so now i have a new hernia. I hate to do another surgery again.

I have an inguinal hernia and one surgeon wants to use the robot and another wants to do it by hand because she says it is more reliable and she can see exactly where the mesh is placed... So I decided to just wait.

I appreciate all your vids Yoni...such vital info, especially after my injuries from a drunk driver t-boning me last summer....still on a walker with tibia healed but have scar tissue preventing my right knee from bending more than 85% and my r foot cannot bend too much...do you know any non-invasive therapy to remove internal scars? I really want to walk without my walker! Thanks for all you do!

I just have a hernia that has probably been developing over the years. I consider myslef pretty fit… I cough a lot when I get a cold, or when I got covid. That surely didn’t help. :(

Very early stage of a inguinal hernia on my right side. I don’t have any pain, but I’m afraid to go 100% at the gym. I know it only gets worse over time. A big part of me wants to just get a surgery done so I can heal faster and be back to working out hard. I’m just not sure if I should do anything if I’m not in pain right now, but from what I hear it’s better to address this earlier than later. Any thoughts? Also I can’t decide if mesh is the way to go. At first I thought it was, but I keep seeing negatives about it. Thanks 🙏

can you do a robotic inguinal hernia repair if there was an open inguinal hernia repair with mesh 20 years ago?

Iv been diagnosed with an epigastric hernia just above my belly button. Dr says it’s too small to operate. But I am experiencing extreme pain sometimes in the area. He told me to continue with heavy lifting in gym as normal. I’m worried i’ll put myself at serious risk doing this. But gym is my life, I absolutely love it and don’t want to give it up. Any advice? Thanks!

Great info concerning hernias. Are there ways of protecting from further damage if you had a partially torn repair & don't want further surgery. I have had a previous surgical repair of an umbilical hernia...repaired at 60..but now at 72 is partially torn again ...but not much in the way of symptoms & a mild deformity in the area. Should I wear a compression belt or something ? Is breathing technique useful to reduce pressure on effort. How to avoid surgery ...for cowards Thank you

wat can u do to void surgery as I just got a hernia dr st hospital just told me to relax and going on almost 3 months now since it started and hurts to the touch ???

Why does noone talk about exercise the muscle, Use Iqorio

7.30 Question The low key words anal stress to the bowls ohh my oh my 🤣 .! That strain causes hernias ..... hahaha

All nonsense, just sow the open area up . ABSOLUTELY NO MESH. Way to many issues with mesh.

As always surgery is only as good as your Doctor. 😂 Its scary when you never know is the expert performing the surgery or is it his student?
