Doctors Prefer Dr. Grischkan for Their Hernia Repairs
Doctors across America choose the Hernia Center of Ohio as their preferred destination for hernia surgery due to several compelling reasons. Firstly, the center’s expertise in the Shouldice Technique, a proven mesh-free approach with a failure rate of less than 1%, sets it apart as a leader in hernia repair.
NON-MESH Hernia Repair
The Updated Shouldice Technique
Hernia repairs in the United States predominantly rely on polypropylene mesh, which has demonstrated success in reducing recurrence rates. However, the use of mesh has brought to light concerning complications arising from its inflammatory properties. Chronic pain, mesh migration, entrapment of the spermatic cord, and abdominal wall stiffness are among the reported complications, often necessitating additional surgeries. In contrast, the Shouldice Technique, a mesh-free approach to hernia repair, has proven to be highly effective, boasting a failure rate of less than 1% in expert hands.
