In your case it seems right and best for recovery .

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear

Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.com
I have evaluated your query thoroughly with all 4 photographs attached .

* Per operative decisions taken by the operating surgeon are always depending
upon the clinical presentation with complexity , expertise of the surgeon to
give best possible results to the patient .

* Routinely practised methods may not apply or appropriate for every single
patient as it is .

* In your case I think the decision is absolutely right for the condition as it was
double septal inguinal hernia .

* Explanation about the photos

- First they have dissected out the defect precisely with the lap ( first 2
photographs ) .
- Positioned the mesh in appropriate gap area and checked for the
perfect coverage of the defect .
- Hernia sac ligated with precision so that there are minimal or no chances of
recurrence of the condition .

Hope this clears your query .
Welcome for further guidance .

Wishing you fine recovery from the same .
Regards dear .

Thank you very much for yr answer. you mean place the mesh first and then handle the sac is also correct, is it right? because I see some surgery through youtube is to handle sac first and place mesh finally

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear

Welcome

* I would still be more precise that the sac has already been handled before mesh
application as in second photo , only final ligation was kept after proper mesh
fitting .
* It is always challenging to handle double septal inguinal hernia as per our
clinical experience of 18 years of surgery .

* I agree with the technique of your doctor .

Always happy to help you .

Regards .
