    Mesh removal is a big deal. It can carries serious complications.

    I appreciate your symptoms. You will require a very thorough workup to determine if the risk vs benefit of mesh removal is appropriate.

    I agree that you should be seen by hernia surgeons that explant/remove mesh as they have a dedicated expertise to determine if this is needed.

    Typically start with:
    1. History and physical exam
    2. Dermatome map testing in the office
    3. Review operative report from initial surgery
    4. MRI to look for recurrent and/or unrecognized hernia(S)
    5. Then go from there….
