Hi will you make a video on sports hernias, there seems to be quite a large conflict of interest on proper repair between laproscopic with mesh and open techniques like dr zoland and dr meyers in philly
Sports hernia are a difficult and complex topic to address which is why there is such a large conflict of information. There is no one best approach as seen by the fact that Dr. Meyers performs open surgery while many other surgeons perform MIS. We will put that idea onto our short list for future videos.
Hi Dr Harris, Finding your videos really interesting! I Had a laparoscopic bilateral (TEP) hernia repair some time ago. I believe the surgeon missed a cord lipoma on one side as there is still a slight bulge present and CT scan agreed. My question is, can the lump be removed with open surgery whilst keeping the posterior mesh in place and not needing additional mesh on the front?

Yes, removing a cord lipoma after a MIS repair is an option for patients who are having symptoms from the lipoma.
