Muscles damaged by mesh
Hi Dr. Towfigh. Quick question is it anatomically possible that a large laparoscopic placed mesh for inguinal hernia repair can damage any of the hip flexor or upper thigh (satorios) muscles, tissues, tendons or ligaments if the mesh should fold or curl up?
And if possible Which of these structures would be most likely to be affected.
Also in regards to the above question could the Lateral femoral cutaneous nerve also be affected/damaged.
thank you -
