@JonahLupton@drink_AG1 If you think that’s bad - look at the price of Maui Nua Venison sticks that Peter Attia is invested in… 120 bucks for 24 sticks. That’s more per oz than a filet at a top steakhouse. Comical considering atlas deer in Maui are grossly overpopulated… priced like a rare delicacy.
Interesting paper looking at mesh v no mesh in umbilical hernias <1cm:
- short term more patients could feel mesh related symptoms
- long term less hernia recurrences with mesh (0.2% vs 1.7%)
- no other major differences
I’d still not use mesh:
It’s not worth risking mesh related issues (and it’s consequences) for a 1.5% absolute difference in hernia recurrence.
