To Remove or Not to Remove?
That depends on who you ask.
As part of my point is that there’s some
surgeons who solicit this procedure
out there who determine that any discomfort is soley from the mesh and are eagerly wanting to remove it at any cost to the patient. It’s apparent removal may only benefit the surgeon, not the patient. It’s a question of discretion and ethics. It’s easy to scare a patient and tell them they need to get their mesh out. It’s not a perfect world out there unfortunately. I know people who are being consulted by phone 1000 miles away being told their mesh needs to be removed without seeing any imaging or physically examining the patient.
