Where are the surgeons proclaiming that chronic pain is in the past?
Here is something that is significant just by the fact that it does not exist. There are no surgeons presenting data to show that, overall, the chronic pain situation is improving. That, maybe, the pain in the past was from incorrect usage of mesh, pieces that were too small, or the Kugel product, or the plug and patch.
It’s just silence, apparently pretending that the problem never really existed. The same wide range of products are being sold, and the various ways to implant mesh are being presented, but the 15% chronic pain rate is now assumed to be normal.
It could remind you of the COVID-19 pandemic. Here in the United States, 900-1,000 deaths per day is “normal”. It’s terrible but it’s becoming part of the background
Something that anyone considering mesh implantation should consider. Get the actual numbers, don’t trust the comforting words. Just because it’s normal does not mean that it’s best, or right for you.
