    Multiple Surgeries – SECOND OPINION

    Hi there.
    Any update regarding your situation.
    An open exploration to confirm no hernia recurrence is not a bad idea. If there is fat in the canal or a recurrence, the open repair should fix it. If the mesh is bulging into the defect and mimicking hernia symptoms, then an open anterior approach can also address that problem. We see that more often in large build Patient’s or with large/wide hernia defects.
    Lastly, there are thee causes for groin pain. This includes hip and back problems.
