小心神经处理: 避免神经损伤, we expertly identify and work around all the nerves that send signals from your central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) to your body. Our careful attention to your surgical plan significantly reduces your risk of experiencing chronic pain after hernia repair.

利希滕斯坦无张力疝修补术

Surgeons at the Lichtenstein Hernia Institute pioneered the tension-free mesh method. We cover the opening of the hernia with a patch of surgical mesh instead of sewing the muscle back together.

This thin and flexible mesh acts as a bridge for new tissue to grow and reinforces broken or weakened muscle. 两到三周内, 网状物安全地成为你肌肉组织的一部分, 随着时间的推移，创造一个强大而永久的修复，降低疼痛的风险.

疝气手术后的疼痛
