Dear all,

I have moved to Doha at the beginning of September and had never been in this part of the world before, so there are still a lot of things I am figuring out. This is my first post and should probably have introduced myself properly, however I have a pressing need for advice as my husband is not well and need advise, especially from those of you who have been living here a bit already, about specialised hospital/centres or good surgeons performing ventral (post-incisional) hernia repair. If you know doctors working in the city who could pass on their advice, I'd be very grateful. He has had two repair surgeries already but would like to have another consult asap.

Look forward to your advice, thanks for your help.

Lalli

Thanks a lot Hoobs, wish I'd read this before! I read that there's a new centre in Al Wakra, which is specialised in hernia-related surgeries and is part of Hamad Medical Corporation. Is this one your husband had the precedure done at? Anyways, yes, now I know Hamad should in the majority of cases be the first stop. We also had done research obviously but ended up in Al Ahli. However something went wrong and my husband had to do the surgery twice. He feels ok now, apart from the odd searing pain in the surgical area every now and then. So we want to do a consult with another hospital/surgeon anyway. Hope your husband is doing great and thanks again for your reply. Best Lalli

I would just go to Hamad . My husband had this surgery last year . Did a ton of research - in the end he chose to go with Hamad . My husband works in the medical field , so he knew what to look for when doing his research . Hope this helps and Good Luck !
