Possible Recurrent Hernia
Dear Dr. Towfigh,
I had a hernia repair with mesh that failed in 2001 and then it was redone laparoscopically in 2007. I had some scar tissue that was removed a couple of times back in 2008 and 2009. Recently I have had some right sided groin pain that seems to radiate to by right side and around to the kidney area. I am not sure this is a recurrent hernia or scar tissue, etc. I had an extreme bout of constipation which I think may have disrupted the mesh, etc. Lately it has been hard to sleep because my right side hurts. Do you think an exploratory surgery would be good in this case. It is hurting more and I am not sure what to do.
