Inguinal hernia mesh removal
Hello
I wonder if some of the Surgeons on the forum can speak to the pro’s and cons of removing inguinal hernia mesh for chronic pain. Thank you -
Inguinal hernia mesh removal
Thank you for sharing. This experience is very isolating. I’m fed up with being in pain and unable to do the things I used to do but I’m afraid removing the mesh will make things worse. I feel trapped. The surgeon who put the mesh in says that its too risky to remove the mesh. She advises that removing the mesh will create a hernia and that the cord or testicle could be damaged. I have read a few cases where the mesh was removed without damage. Its a relief to speak with someone who had the mesh removed without damage.

Thanks again. May I ask why you had the mesh removed.

Thanks again Chaunce123 for the info. The pain after the surgery is completely different than the hernia pain. The pain now is a burning stabbing and deep ache. Honestly the logic of nerve block injections doesn’t follow for me. If the issue is the mesh then nerve blocks are only masking the issue.

Thank you Chaunce123 for all the info. The surgeon prescribed Lyrica and Advil. Neither really help much. I had open surgery. Yes, I had pain before the surgery. There was no defect in the wall just the cord lipoma. The frustrating thing about the pain is that it comes and goes. Although the pain never goes away completely. Exercise makes the pain worse.

Thank you. I’m glad to hear that your mesh removal went well. Its very difficult to know what to do. The surgeon who put the mesh in advises that mesh can’t be removed safely. I’ve seen a few articles were mesh was removed safely due to chronic pain or infection.
