“WHY HERNIA RE-OCCURS AGAIN & AGAIN”


a mesh,piece of synthetic cloth is stitched on weak spot to prevent recurrence. But this does not happen immediately after surgery because this mesh is delicate like a mosquito net. Then why it is stitched if it does not give protection? A foreign body reaction sets in and around the mesh and tissue penetrates in it to form a delicate curtain on the weak spot. This takes couple of months and then it takes another 2-3 years to get sufficient strength in it to give protection. It means the patient is not fully protected for 2-3 years in spite of mesh surgery. If patient gets an attack of cough or sneezing or some such other instance during this period then this mesh gets torn or stitches get torn or mesh moves away from the stitched place and relapse of hernia takes place. The low quality mesh shrinks by 50-60% in side the body. Naturally there is increased tension on the sutures due to this shrinkage that tend to break beyond certain limits inviting hernia recurrence. Almost 30 out 100 patients operated with mesh suffer either from recurrence, chronic groin pain, infection, migration etc. In “DESARDA REPAIR” no mesh is used and repair is done with a muscle strip. So protection is immediate and long lasting. Patient can drive car and go to office, can climb a staircase, can carry luggage and travel, squat and sit down without much pain within 2-3 days without fear of recuurence.

Informed Consent is required to avoid legal suits from the Patient before Hernia Surgery with Mesh!!!


Mesh is widely used in hernia surgery all over the world. Many patients are not aware that it is a foreign body and they give general consent for surgery as advised by their doctor because of faith in him. Patient feels that the doctor would not do anything that is harmful to him. This faith is being used by the mesh manufacturing companies to market and sale their product at any cost without bothering much for the harmful consequences patient may face in future due to known foreign body complications. But now patients are becoming more and more aware from the internet that mesh is a foreign body, a simple piece of synthetic cloth naturally associated with many foreign body complications. So it is now necessary as prevention of future legal complications that every surgeon and the hospital should take an informed consent in writing that the mesh is a foreign body prepared of synthetic threads like cloth and may cause harm to him due to well-known foreign body complications. OTHERWISE,patient may file a legal suit against the surgeons or the hospital and may claim for huge damages!!! WEBSITE: desarda.com, EMAIL: desarda@hotmail.com
