I had numbness in the surgery area and inner thigh for about 2 years so maybe my ilioinguinal nerve has been cut as well…

I read somewhere that in the removal they cut it way higher and then problems occur.

@good-intentions thanks for your replay and thoughts.

I know tho in open mesh removal nerves have to be cut as well to eliminate the risk of chronic pain.

There isn’t a lot of information about open mesh removal on the web and seems to be true for this forum as well.

Any other information about open mesh removal would be greatly apriciated!

@good-intentions yes, I had Lichtenstein repair with the progrip mesh, no plug and patch was used.

Maybe I didn’t ask my question clear enough.

I wonder if it’s easier/safer to remove mesh that is in the inguinal ligament(Lichtenstein) than if the mesh is in the extra-peritoneal(TEP) or peritoneal cavity(TAPP) since well-known Drs. remove mesh…[Read more]

They have installed me ProGrip mesh and that i found is they dont use tacks to fix it. So if they don’t use tacks it can’t  affect  ilioingluinal and iliohypogasric nerves (source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YcMflnDNNNM ). Then triple neurectomy is not necessary. Is that source reliable and do I understand it correctly is the question. Is t…[Read more]

Thanks for the replays! Today I was okay with mild pain in the surgery area and I’m still researching mesh removal and possible problems. One thing that comes to mind is the difference between entrapped nerves and just mesh pain and what actually causes the pain in the surgery area. The stiffness of scar tissue and mesh combination? One of the bi…[Read more]

@ajm222 Thank you for the great post ! Today was okay and I really hope nothing bad happens further. Is it possible to dislocate the mesh after this long time? My surgeon is categorical that after 3 months it is  impossible to happen. Then why did I have those problems ? He just said that I overloaded myself and to give it a break. Another h…[Read more]

Thanks for your reply @ajm222. How are you recently? I have read your topics and saw that you are with progrip as well. The topic about gradually improving in terms of pain after a while is interesting and I hope it is true. What do you think about my problem?  Have you ever experienced anything like that before?

The pain I felt was instant in the hip adductors when squatting and then started in the testicles. Initially I had zero pain in the surgery place. That happened approximately 10 days ago. Testicle pain gradually settled to almost non existent but then started pain in the surgery place when bent down for instance. I can describe it as when you have…[Read more]
