(UNIPI News 27.12.2018)
Azienda ospedaliera universitaria pisana will be the first hospital in Italy to experiment with the
innovative Desarda method for inguinal hernia repair,
developed by Indian surgeon Mohan P. Desarda.
This alternative procedure does not
use synthetic prostheses but a section of the external oblique muscle,
separated and shaped, sutured to the inguinal ligament below and used as a
reinforcement of the parietal defect, at the basis of hernia pathophysiology,
without compromising the conjoint tendon.
In the General Surgery Section of
AOUP, Doctor Francesco Porcelli, under the supervision of
Professor Giulio Di Candio, has performed the first 13 operations
using Desarda method.
