About this listen

This is a podcast dedicated to the discussion of hernia surgery and hernia surgeons. The name "The Hernia Gods Podcast" is not meant to apply to the surgeons or hosts but instead to the abstract hernia gods that we hope are on our side when taking care of our sometimes complex cases.
