Advanced Hernia and Proctology Care
The Kang Repair avoids synthetic mesh to eliminate foreign-body risks and infections. It achieves a recurrence rate under 0.2% and chronic pain rates under 0.5%. Dr. Kang uses local anesthesia and a small incision for this procedure. These methods allow for rapid recovery and safer treatment for elderly patients.
The surgeon also treats umbilical hernias and inguinal hernias. He performs lipoma removals as well. These procedures focus on minimizing tissue trauma for the patient. He treats patients who seek alternatives to traditional mesh-based surgeries.
