Paul is scheduled for surgery at Shouldice Hospital. An adviser to Paul said that the hospital is world-renowned for the procedure, known as “non-mesh hernia repair,” and is a private entity that is not part of the Canadian system.
“This is a private, world-renowned hospital separate from any system and people come from around the world to pay cash for their services,” Paul spokeswoman Kelsey Cooper said in an email Monday.
I had double Inguinal hernia and navel hernia repaired 25+ years ago. The mesh they used is not the ones than are screwed up and having recalls now.
No problems so far.
