Removing laproscoptic mesh. (TEP)
I currently have laproscoptic progrip mesh 10×15 cm inside me on left side..
what are my options in terms of removal ? Going through serious complications…
How would you surgicaly do a pure tissue repair in this case…let’s say mesh is flat and no significant meshoma is found so would that make the removal easier ?
I’m 23 around 210

Dr. Belyansky and others apparently more often than not find that there is no hernia present after they remove the mesh. There is still enough scar tissue remaining after removal that has built up over time that usually another repair isn’t necessary. And that scar tissue is apparently enough to hold things for a long time if not indefinitely. I have seen him quote someone else that they would have about a 10% lifetime chance of recurrence after removal. But I think he and others will sometimes reinforce the area with tissue depending upon the circumstances, or if they notice a weakness of any kind. Not sure of the technical details. And if a whole new hernia repair is necessary, I don’t know all the details about what is usually done.
