polypropylene mesh plug
<font color=”#000000″ face=”Arial” size=”2″>My husband had hernia surgery back in 2017 which was repaired with polypropylene mesh plug and he’s been dealing with health issues ever since. Such as pain at the site, rashes, inflammation, swollen lymph nodes and more! We would like to have the mesh removed to see if this is the cause of all of his health issues. We have tried so much and we certainly think this could be the underlying cause. We have done our research and seen lots of articles on systemic reactions and reactions to the hernia mesh. We are located in North Carolina and would love to know if anyone has had this procedure done and where??</font>

Yes, I reached out but looking for more referrals and want people to share their experiences

Who have you contacted so far? Many people have had mesh removed in other parts of the country. The experiences are all about the same. The mesh is removed, pain is diminshed, healing and recovery takes a long time.
A plug would most likley be removed via an open procedure. Dr. Towfigh has posted on Twitter about plugs.

This is a medium size Perfix #plug #mesh that has balled up, aka #meshoma . It was causing chronic groin & nerve #pain due to erosion into the spermatic cord, so I excised it. He is now #pain free!🙏🏻#meshcomplication #hernia #chronicpain #itsnotjustahernia pic.twitter.com/EgnLh0ULXR
