My husband had an inguinal hernia repair performed last year at Leesburg Hospital. It was performed laproscopically <sp?> with mesh. He has had burning at the site now and at times quite painful. We are advised by his GP that it has failed and we have to go to a surgeon to have it checked out and re-repaired. In doing a search online it is very scary to see all the failures and issues with mesh. Supposedly the issues with the mesh has been similar with pelvic mesh. Rolling up, balling up, infection, attaching to other body parts, causing many problems... I know mesh has been succesfull as well, but was wondering if there are others who had their hernia repair fail and how they had it rectified and by who if they were confident with that surgeon regardless of what state.
