Some common types of non-mesh hernia repair techniques include:

Shouldice Repair: This method involves using layered sutures to strengthen the weakened abdominal wall without mesh. It’s often used for inguinal hernias and has a long history of success.
Bassini Repair: An older technique where the surgeon stitches together the muscle layers of the abdominal wall. While effective, it’s less commonly used today compared to modern methods like mesh or Shouldice repair.
Desarda Repair: In this method, a strip of healthy muscle is used to reinforce the hernia site, avoiding the use of synthetic materials.
McVay Repair: This technique is similar to the Bassini repair but involves anchoring tissue to a different part of the abdominal wall, mainly used for femoral hernias.

Non-mesh repairs are often preferred by patients or surgeons who are concerned about the potential complications related to mesh, such as infections, chronic pain, or mesh erosion. However, they may require more technical skill, and the recurrence rates can sometimes be higher compared to mesh-based repairs, depending on the surgeon’s expertise and the type of hernia.
