Is there any doctors that do no-mesh hernia repair?

August 2, 2015
Asked By:teah1 in Houston, TX

I was told I have 2 small inguiunial hernias and I think I have an incisional hernia right under my appendectomy scar. They are all reducible and mostly with no visible bump. I can feel the a bulge but it comes and goes. There has been a great deal of discomfort lately and want to get it fixed locally in Houston TX but I really do not want to use any mesh. I have Blue cross/blue shield insurance and was wondering if there are any doctors out there that do any non-mesh techniques
