The
dynamics of the surgical arena are more and more dictated by the demands
of the public. Patients are aware of the medical alternatives, and
minimally invasive surgery is very appealing to them. The media influences
the public and a surgeon in France cannot ignore these new surgical
technologies. The GSI SPACEMAKER® [technology] saves me time
in my SEPS cases, but above all makes the operation safer, less complicated,
and less painful for the patients. The post-operative course shows
fewer complications than SEPS procedures performed without a balloon.”

The
benefits of performing minimally invasive procedures relate to reduced
morbidity: less pain, infection, and bleeding. A shorter recovery
time means a shorter convalescence. The advantage of the GSI system
is that it is less complicated. There is an ease of technique with
better exposure than with the other systems I've seen. The patient
benefits from less pain, better cosmesis and shorter recovery time.”

A
fellow surgeon took me along for a day with a number of preperitoneal
inguinal hernias repaired with balloon dissection technology. This
left such a good impression on me and showed such good dissection
that I became very impressed and started using it. I have used the
SPACEMAKER® product for three years now and have been able to
compare it with the competitive dissection balloons. I do not hesitate
to use the preperitoneal mesh and SPACEMAKER® surgical balloon
dissector with all patients with bilateral hernias, recurrent hernias
and with young patients who have a high risk of recurrence or an adverse
medical history.”
