Shouldice Technique

The Shouldice Technique is a surgical method used to repair inguinal hernias, often performed without general anesthesia. It involves making an incision in the groin, pushing the hernia back into the abdomen, and strengthening the abdominal wall with a specialized tissue repair called the Shouldice repair. This technique emphasizes meticulous tissue layering and tension-free repair, leading to strong and durable results. The procedure typically allows for quick recovery, minimal pain, and a low chance of hernia recurrence, making it a favored choice for patients seeking effective, long-lasting hernia repair.
