Dr. Kevin C. Petersen, MD

My primary area of interest and expertise is in non-mesh hernia repairs and treatment of patients with mesh complications. This is a highly specialized area of surgery with probably less than a dozen surgeons in the entire world having any real expertise. All of the doctors working in this area are pioneers and face opposition from the majority of their peers who refuse to acknowledge how big a problem mesh complications is. Patients who I treat with mesh pain have endured great trauma and damage to their lives. They tend to be extremely happy with the results of mesh removal or extremely disappointed. Unfortunately I cannot help everybody. The results statistics that I quote are obtained scientifically and are accurate to a high degree of probability(Null hypothesis P < 0.001).
