Good intentions replied to the topic Any regrets, insights or advice on mesh removal surgery? in the forum Hernia Discussion 27 minutes ago
I posted on a similar topic a while ago. Linked below.
My main advice would be to educate yourself about what is involved in removal, know what was done during the implantation (neurectomy, lipoma dissection, etc.), and choose a surgeon who will leave you with good odds of a successful recovery.
Secondly, don’t expect to be immediately “well”.…[Read more]

Benjamin started the topic Question about Inguinal hernia mesh and nerves. Two questions in the forum Website Concerns 2 hours, 31 minutes ago
Hello, I was recently diagnosed with a Bilateral Inguinal hernia. I talked to the surgeon referred to by my general practitioner and he recommends the Robotic surgery using the Bard 3d mesh. I was discussing this with a friend of mine and he said that the Bard 3d mesh traps the Inguinal Nerve and this can cause serious issues later on. Is this…[Read more]

Promising…some conflicting info in the paper but might just be a mistake that should have been caught during review:
“One patient developed a recurrence…The mean follow-up was more than 30 months. One patient developed a seroma, and one a hematoma. There were no signs of recurrence at follow-up…”. A table of results also indicates no…[Read more]

Does anyone know what size mesh Dr. Reinhorn uses?
Also, does anyone know of any doctors currently using P4HB (Phasix) absorbable mesh for inguinal repairs? The results of this study seem promising – https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC7434400/

Thanks @Mike, I was the same the first few weeks, couldn’t walk or stand for too long without needing to sit down, my tension isn’t painful either just a sensation of pulling in the groin with certain movements, but I notice it’s reducing month after month, after walkking for a while it’s not there at all. Thanks for the encouragement, I agree a…[Read more]

Several posters have experienced mesh removal surgery. Some appear to be doing relatively well while others have had reoccurrences and adverse results. One former poster who experienced a reoccurrence after mesh removal was last self reported to be seeking a tissue repair surgeon that would accept their insurance. As mesh surgery seems to be…[Read more]

The tension took a little bit for me to resolve. The first two weeks I had to sit down to reset it after standing or walk for too long. That didn’t last past the first month. Overall the tension for me was not “painful” at all but I would say 6mo to 1 year for me is when the tension started settling down to where I never noticed it…[Read more]

Here’s another interesting summary that gets in to the details of the premise being suggested for the problems. They distinguish between polyester and polypropylene. Some of it seems exaggerated but I guess that’s what lawyers do. Looks like they have their sites set one Progrip also.
It’s like reading an exciting novel in serial…[Read more]

It has been pretty fascinating to follow the progress of the lawsuits focused on various hernia mesh products. Also kind of difficult since the various law firms that report on them generally don’t present information very well.
One thing I’ve noticed is that they seem to be working from a starting assumption that all mesh products are…[Read more]
