Prof. Morry Brygel
Prof. Morry Brygel joins the Third Opinion to discuss the often censored topics such as femoral and inguinal hernias, skin cancers, hemorrhoids and testicular torsion! Prof Brygel graduated from medicine at Melbourne University. He trained in Anaesthesia in London, then trained in surgery at the Royal Melbourne Hospital where he attained the Surgical Fellowship of the Royal Australian College of Surgeons. Initially he practised all types of surgical procedures, but was inspired to concentrate on hernia surgery, following visits to Australia by Dr Lichtenstein who advocated the use of mesh and local anaesthesia. The Lichtenstein technique is now the benchmark for excellent results. He saw local anaesthesia as being much safer for patients, with the hospital stay very short, just a few hours in many cases. This approach is still be using at the Melbourne Hernia Clinic by his colleagues. Details can be found here https://hernia.net.au He is an Honorary Senior Fellow in the Dept. of Anatomy & Cell Biology at the University of Melbourne, where he lectures on hernias and anatomy of the groin. He has also developed a teaching programme, books and videos on hernias. There are 7 volumes and videos – titled The Video Book of Hernias. Included in this category are related areas of scrotal conditions and testicular tumours. He also works as an educator for international Doctors who come to Australia and need to pass the Australian medical exams.
