You've probably heard of hernia meshes – the surgical mesh used for hernia repair. But do all hernia patients require them?
In today's episode of Beyond The OR, you'll hear from Dr. Shirin Towfigh, a top-of-the-game Hernia Specialist and the Founder of Beverly Hills Hernia Center. Dr Brenner and Dr Towfigh discuss the use of hernia meshes and the problems that can happen around them. Over time, she's treated hernia patients with a wide variety of complications and has become one of the most sought-after doctors in her field. We're discussing her inspiring journey – the experience, challenges of certain cases, research, recovery, and the future of hernias and hernia meshes. We're also getting into another health condition, breast implant illness. You'll learn about the similarities and differences between hernia and breast implant illness. For the record, Dr. Shirin's has recently obtained a patent for gender-specific hernia meshes for the groin! She's revealing some interesting findings from her research, so stay tuned!
