💡 The best way to manage a scrotal hematoma after inguinal hernia repair?

Prevent it.

In this clip from my Master Course on Groin & Pelvic Hernias, I share one of my techniques for managing the scrotum after repairing a large inguinal hernia.

⚠️ Hematomas and seromas can be difficult complications to treat once they occur.

🚨 If a surgeon can’t diagnose an inguinal hernia in a woman, we still have a major education problem.

Women’s hernias are NOT men’s hernias.

If you don’t know the differences in presentation, diagnosis, and treatment, women will continue to be misdiagnosed and suffer unnecessarily.

This is exactly why I created my Master Course on Groin & Pelvic Hernias.

Our patients deserve better.
