An incisional hernia happens through an old scar on the tummy from a previous operation.
Incisional hernias are often more complicated to fix and can be done from the front (open) or from the inside (laparoscopic).
Repairing these will often involve a “mesh” to make the area stronger and to try and reduce the risk of it coming back again.
Mr Simon Marsh, 108 Harley Street’s Groin and Hernia expert, is one of the few surgeons who is still carrying out no mesh inguinal hernia repairs.
During a no mesh hernia repair, the hernia is repaired by reducing the hernia and restoring, anatomically, the normal anatomy of the groin. The technique can be considered as based on the Shouldice Technique, pioneered in the famous Shouldice Clinic in Toronto, Canada. Mr Marsh has lectured internationally with the late Robert Bendavid, who was a senior member of the Shouldice Clinic.
