Hello!

It’s been a bit since I’ve jumped back on here. I’m coming up on 5 months since my mesh removal @ Cleveland Clinic.

Overall, I’m doing MUCH better than before mesh removal.

I’m only adding that because I know people will ask haha 🙂

I have a long long list of 4 years of pain and suffering and paper trials of my family spending just…[Read more]
Jordan Fitz replied to the topic Bassini Repair Recurrence Rate? in the forum Hernia Discussion 1 year, 1 month ago

Dr. Kang actually wrote back to me and said I should’ve worry too much about it failing. If done correctly, it can hold up very well. Additionally, he said if it does ever fail, the Kang method can still be used to repair the failure.

I’m done stressing for now 🙂

Thanks!

Hey all!

Recently had mesh removal and repair via Bassini

I’m still waiting on the OP report to see if it was modified or what, but can’t really find any recurrence rate percentages online. They are all over the place (from 6 – 50%). I know it’s not the best long term repair, but just trying set some expectations on how long this puppy will…[Read more]

Hey all,

Just had my Bard Perfix Plug + Patch removed, it’s never been about the money, but I’m going to raise some hell now that I’m recovering. I’ve spoke to the top hernia surgeons and they all agree plugs are laughable excuses for a repair. I want to play my part to attempt to get this junk off the market.

Any Lawyer recommendations?

Thanks!
Jordan Fitz started the topic HAD MESH REMOVAL YESTERDAY in the forum Hernia Discussion 1 year, 1 month ago

Hey all,

It’s been 24 hours since I had my (open) plug + patch mesh removal by Dr. Krpata at Cleveland Clinic.

I’m laying down icing and watching a movie. I’ve been walking around pretty good but obviously still in a lot of pain.

Here’s what went down and where I’m at so far:

PRIOR HISTORY:

Jordan Fitz replied to the topic Can Plug & Patch "break through" muscle tissue, causing tear? in the forum Hernia Discussion 1 year, 2 months ago

Hey Good Intentions –

I can vouch for Cleveland Clinic.

I have a buddy who had the exact same bard perfix plug and patch as I do.

He had Krpata take it out 14 weeks ago and doing well.

He opted for more mesh, but he is willing to due pure tissue as well if there’s enough good tissue to do so.

Also, my buddy didn’t have any sort of…[Read more]

Thanks – I have scheduled an appointment with them in PA.

In the meantime, I have removal surgery with Dr. Krpata booked in April. I’ve decided to go this route because Dr. Krpata will attempt removal without neurectomy + tissue only repair.

I know someone first hand that has had the identical implant that I have removed so it’s a pretty easy…[Read more]

Thanks!

I just don’t want two different operations, 1. remove the mesh, 2. fix any tears, etc.

For example, if a tear is missed before the operation and the mesh is taken out without addressing the muscle damage, I assume I’ll have to have another operation to repair muscle issues, etc.

Thanks!

… not sure if I’m allowed to bump, but checking back in on this to see if anyone has experienced plug + patch causing muscle tissue damage over time

thanks!

Hello,

I’m scheduled to have my plug & patch removed in April. The pain continues to get worse, and my right side has atrophied so so much. I’ve waited on it for a year now. I’m choosing a doctor @ Cleveland Clinic and praying for the best! I have a personal friend who had the same exact mesh product removed from the same Doctor I’m seeing and…[Read more]
Jordan Fitz started the topic Plug + Patch Removal (always a triple neurectomy?) in the forum Hernia Discussion 2 years ago

Hello,

I’ve previously consulted with a great Dr. who spent a good deal of time with me. I’m currently watching and waiting to see if mesh removal is the move for me.

Question for plug removal surgery; is TRIPLE NEURECTOMY going to happen 100% of the time?

1. Can a surgeon peel nerve / save nerves?
2. Can nerves even be seen by surgeons?…[Read more]

Hello,

I think a meshoma from plug is compressing femoral nerve / artery. Here are the operation notes…

Not sure if any doctos see these threads or if anyone can add anything based on these notes:

Technique:

External oblique fascia was exposed and divided. Cord was mobilized at the pubic tubercle and an indirect hernia was found. There…[Read more]
