Swollen Groin after Mesh Removal
Laparotomy for a laparoscopically placed mesh removal seems a bit extreme, but laparoscopic removal of laparoscopically placed mesh is performed by very few of us in the nation so sometimes you have no choice but to do what your surgeon is most experienced with.
Did you have your hernia repaired after the mesh was removed? If so, in what manner?
Seroma or hematoma fluid collections can be easily ruled out with ultrasound.
Did you communicate these findings with your surgeon? We have our out of town patients send us pictures or do followups by email, phone, even FaceTime as needed.
