Yes I’m trying to find out surgeon guidelines specific to this procedure rather than the minefield that is the internet!

Yes my concern is risk of DVT though not short term problem’s.

I think mine was called polymesh I’m not certain about that though.

Can anyone provide an idea of cost for the removal? I know it’s how long is a piece of string but so far I can’t seem to get any indication of what I would be looking at.

Thanks

[Ian J]

That is exactly the kind of detailed answer I’ve been looking for, thank you so much.
Can I ask what you had removed? Was yours both sides inguinal mesh? Is it correct they only will one remove one side at a time?

Thanks again for your comprehensive reply.

Thanks so much for both replies.

Is it extremely invasive or minimally invasive? All I keep hearing is it a massive operation that is extremely dangerous, is this true? I’ve seen pictures of removals where there is an extremely large amount of tissue removed with the mesh is this normal? Also what is the recovery period please?
Also mine was originally done laproscopically so the mesh is behind the abdominal wall. From what I’ve read this seems to matter I believe, with how the operation is performed. I’m guessing it would be done via robot?

Thanks
