Required reading...

It's hard to believe that so much really useful information can fit into such a slender volume! This book should be required reading for every hernia patient. If I'd had this book 4 months ago I might not be facing surgery #2 right now. Since a lot of surgeons aren't great at communicating, this book is invaluable for filling in the gaps and helping you determine what questions to ask. The only downside is that it's about a decade old--I'd like to see the publisher commission an updated edition covering latest advances in repair techniques.
