Surgery at Christinas Clinic

The incision is made in the area where the hernia is located. The intestine or tissue inside the hernia is pushed back into the cavity. The weakened part of the wall is also strengthened with meshes which stay in the body.

Christinas Clinic uses Ceremesh meshes, produced by Cereplas. The meshes are used to treat soft tissue hernias regardless of the location. The range includes various sizes and shapes of woven and non-woven as well as silicone coated meshes, which are well received by the body.
