Description

🔥 "Mesh Fixation: Necessity or Overuse in Laparoscopic Hernia Surgery?"

🔥Is mesh fixation in laparoscopic groin hernia repair truly necessary, or are we adding complexity and cost with little benefit?

🤔💡In this episode, we dive into one of the biggest debates in hernia surgery! We break down the various fixation techniques—tacks, glue, sutures, self-fixating mesh, and even no fixation at all—and examine what the latest scientific evidence says about chronic pain, recurrence, and patient recovery. We also explore hidden surgical risks, including the notorious Triangle of Pain and Triangle of Doom, and discuss whether one method stands out or if the choice still depends on surgeon expertise and personal preference.

 If you're a surgeon, resident, or just fascinated by cutting-edge surgical techniques, this episode is a must-listen!

🎙️🔪🎧 Tune in now and discover: Is mesh fixation a hero or a villain in hernia surgery?
