Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about hernia surgery and the Desarda technique
We'll provide detailed pre-operative instructions during your consultation. This typically includes dietary guidelines, medication adjustments, and what to expect on surgery day.
Most insurance plans cover hernia repair surgery. We work with all major insurance providers and will help verify your coverage before your procedure.
Most patients can return to work within 1-2 weeks and resume full physical activities within 4-6 weeks. Recovery without mesh can be faster than traditional mesh repairs due to the natural healing process.
Mesh-free repair eliminates the risks associated with mesh-related complications, such as chronic pain, infection, or mesh migration. It also provides a more natural repair using your tissue.
The Desarda technique is a revolutionary mesh-free hernia repair method that uses your body's own tissue to strengthen the hernia repair, eliminating the need for synthetic mesh and reducing complications.
Due to the lack of dedicated hernia specialists we welcome patients who travel and offer treatment consultations and discounted hotel rates
