Mesh folding – general questions
For my own curiosity
1. How common is it, for experienced surgeon doing laparoscopic repair for example?
2. Is it always a problem (i.e. will it always cause pain and need to be surgically fixed)?
3. If it did happen but you weren’t having much pain, are there any other diagnostic symptoms? -

quote drtowfigh:1. It happens. Presumably it happens less with more experience. No data on this.
2. Most often does not cause any symptoms.
3. Would never address it if it’s asymptomaticVery interesting, thank you. I’d assumed that folding of any degree would inevitably lead to much pain and probably a meshoma and/or recurrence, and would have to be surgically repaired. Good to know that’s not always or even often the case.
