7929968 tn?1395492362 I have First Assisted on hundreds of umbilical hernia repairs, with and without mesh. It certainly sounds like a infection to me. I would tell my Doc "humor me" and put me on antibiotics! What's it going to hurt? Best wishes!

Avatar m tn I just had my umbilical hernia surgery 2.5 weeks ago with mesh. If you have the surgery without mesh you could have another hernia as your putting strain down below and it could come through another weak point. It also can get bigger and quite ugly. It is your intestines that you are pushing and squishing back into your body. It's amazing how much we use stomach. Anything you do while working out, you will use your stomach muscles. A support belt would help you out.
Avatar f tn This one product represented a tiny fraction of the mesh hernia repairs that have been done. There are now many variations and even mesh made from biological material such that surgeons can choose the ideal mesh for each situation. Risks such as infection are quite low. The best time to repair a hernia is when it is found.
Avatar f tn Laparoscopic hernia repair involves the placement of a mesh inside the abdomen without abdominal wall reconstruction. The mesh is fixed with sutures, staples, or tacks. The recurrence rate of the laparoscopic repair is reported as equal or less than that done with the open approach. So, discuss the possibilities with your doctor. Regards.
1577722 tn?1310624684 t really feel it but that was typical of a c-section hernia. I am due to have surgery in March. After being told about my hernia I have been afraid to workout and gained 60 lbs. I would like to get fit again and do crunches and pretty much everything else. I'm scared that I will make the hernia worse. It doesn't stick out and only hurts when I lay a certain way.
Avatar m tn Gastric bypass 2012, lap chole 2013, exploratory lap 2014, panniculectomy 2015, ventral hernia repair 2015, mesh removal from hernia repair with exp lap 2016, and recently open epigastric incisional hernia repair 2/21/2017. I am one month post op from recent surgery. Immediately upon opening my eyes from surgery I knew something was different. I had extreme pain, more pain then I've had with any surgery I've had.
Avatar m tn Hiatal Hernia repair - recently I had surgery to repair a Paraoesophageal hernia. The following notes were written by the surgeon whom has moved to an unknown hospital and I can not contact. I am wondering if you can tell me whether or not the surgeon has used a mesh in the repair or simply just sutured it. He writes - Two 2-0 Prolene sutures to close diaphram with pledgets. One suture anteriorly. Snug closure over 52 Fr bougie. Redo 360 wrap with three 2-0 Novafil sutures. Hemostatis intact.
Avatar m tn A second exploratory surgery was performed to see if the femoral nerve was entrapped in any way with the mesh from the hernia surgery. The nerve appeared free from the mesh. I have had every nerve block available in my spine, in my pelvic region, and in my testicle. I have been on pain medication for over two years and have tried several nerve medications, (Nuerotin and Lyrica) to no avail. I am getting to the end of my rope with pain and options for treatment.
Avatar f tn I had a left inguinal hernia surgery with mesh 15 months ago. After the surgery everything was ok. But after 10 months i experienced neuropatic groin pain just before and during ejaculation. This happened every ejaculation. Burning sensetion in the groin area contuniues 10 hours. It turned to chronic pain. If no ejqculation takes places, no pain. I read several papers about subject. The complication is dsyejaculation. Dr. Robert Bendavit first recognize this in 1992.
415684 tn?1257329318 My mother had a mesh put during her initial debulking surgery and not due to a hernia problem. She developed a nodule at the site from which they drained fluid to diagnose her OVC. She is now 4 months post op but still feels lot of stretch internally at the mesh site. Other than that she has had no problems. She was even able to take IP chemo with this mesh inside.
Avatar m tn I am wondering whether to try surgery again with all the misery and difficulty or try to live with it with a truss..The surgeon insists that this has not happened in 500 such operations and that additional surgery will require considerably more work and methods due to all the mesh involved. I am very active and need input...Please offer suggestions....
Avatar m tn I had a mesh put into my stomach wall to seal off a hernia. 8 months later i still have discomfort and mild pain in the pubic area. The pain radiates across both sides of the pubic area. It is impacting parts of my life. Has anybody had the same thing and what was done about it?
478868 tn?1209031705 I also had many other complications but they had to do an emergency surgery to repair it...I know the mesh Laney is talking about because I had that mesh under my original incision but from the constant nausea and dry heaves is what caused this to happen...but in your case they will most likely repair it as an outpatient surgery.....Good Luck and please keep us posted....
Avatar n tn my hernia surgery was open type with no mesh used.
Avatar m tn At times I still experience pain at the hernia site. They used mesh to repair the hernia. This mesh feels like a hard service, much harder than the left side in which I had an orchiectomy in 2000. Just recently in 2009 I came down with an abscess on top of the hernia scar. They thought that this could have been due to having a suprapubic catheter in. Even after the abscess was drained (basicaly cut open and left to drain) I still experience discomfort in that region from time to time.
Avatar m tn I recently underwent surgical repair of a left inguinal hernia, with a mesh implant. The recovery has been a bit rougher than I anticipated, but I am hanging in there. I have a follow up with the surgeon tomorrow, and intend to ask him about this, but you never know how we will be dealt with by doctors who may be uncomfortable discussing gay sex, sadly. I am in a long-term, committed relationship.
Avatar f tn (There is a small % of women who react to the mesh itself with POP procedures just as there are with hernia surgeries.) The biologic mesh may hold up a tiny bit better than stiches alone but not by much from the feedback I've heard. I'm sure there will more studies on biologic mesh and maybe at some point they'll marry both types of mesh to get the best of both worlds.
Avatar f tn I herniated my incision while in the hospital. So I now have no abdominal wall left and just mesh, after two hernia operations. I have mesh from under my rib cage the entire way down and the whole way across. My stomach has now herniated the mesh and in a CT scan my bowel is herniated, not strangulated though. They said because it goes back in. I am in constant pain and my doctors here act like I shouldn't be. I don't understand it...
Avatar n tn Hi, I had a double insicional hernia repair done in 2008 (see my post) with mesh and have just had a ultrsound scan done another lump that has formed over the scar... Had trouble with repair as i had an allergic reaction to staples and they had to be removed early and then opened so its not a pretty sight! I really thought is was the hernia again as it looked the same... They said the lump is a granuloma..and reading up on it it says it is a reaction to a foreign body (mesh maybe?
Avatar f tn I had an inguinal hernia 9 years ago and it was repaired with surgery and a mesh. I have a new hernia in almost the same place. My original scar has not been visible for a long time but all of a sudden the scar has reappeared and seems more pink than normal where the new hernia is. Any cause for concern? I wouldn't say the current hernia has changed colour... Usual flesh colour out than the old scar showing up again.
Avatar n tn Wondering what the doctor said. I had a hernia repair with the mesh strip also. I have a lump but it is because hernia came undone.
1563109 tn?1295585149 Do you know what they used to repair your hernia? Do you have mesh? And, what has your doctor said when you asked that question?
Avatar n tn I am a 48 year old female and have had three large babies all resulting in a C-section, after the third child I developed an incisional hernia which was repaired with mesh surgery, now 14 years later I have been diagnosed with both an umbilical hernia as well as a ventral hernia, I am quite limited with general daily activities, I have also been diagnosed with ms and severe lower disc degeneration what can I do to stay fit and do I need surgery help!!!!!
Avatar n tn It is rare to do an umbilical hernia without mesh these days, unless it is a tiny hernia. While unlikely, after all this time, it could be an infection of the repair. It is also very possible that it is an infection completely unrelated to the surgery, but either way it should be checked out.
Avatar f tn Some people are unfortunately unable to handle the mesh. You may need to consult with a specialist that can take a look at the placement of the mesh to figure out whether or not you may be one of them. In some individuals the mesh can move or start to curl and over the long run it can produce symptoms that can be fairly serious because of the location on the nerves and vasculature in that area. It's better to try to figure out the whole thing earlier rather than later.
