[USER=”2672″]muzik[/USER] Thanks for your post

sounds like you have a mesh infection. There is no reason to have recurrent infections in the same place unless there is a foreign body that has seeded with bacteria and so the infection keeps recurring.

The UHS mesh is a good one. It’s considered lightweight, even ultra lightweight. Thy tend to be more resistant to infection than heavier weight mesh products.

If the mesh is infected, it must be removed in its entirety.

Unfortunately, I don’t know of anyone nearby to TX who can handle this problem.

I am happy to help you if you’d like to travel to CA. These are pretty straightforward operations. I don’t recommend biologic or anything else put in. I recommend a staged procedure: get rid of all foreign body and have the area scar in and be infection free. Then we can discuss hernia repair at a future date if you still have a hernia. The intense inflammation and scar from infection often seals the area and hernia recurrence is less likely.
