1 – To avoid mesh-related complications
Many of our patients express deep concerns about the long-term effects of mesh implants. They prefer a natural, mesh-free approach to hernia repair, valuing their body’s integrity. By using your body’s own tissues, we eliminate the risk of mesh-related complications focusing on your body’s natural healing ability and your long-term well-being.
