I had laparoscopic surgery for an inguinal hernia, but 10 days later, I started having fever and chills. The diagnosis showed infection and pus formation around the mesh. The pus is sterile and no bacteria were found, but the doctor says my body is rejecting the mesh, and I may need a second surgery to remove it. Is there any way to avoid the second surgery? If the mesh is removed, will I get the hernia again?
Mesh is required to strengthen the wall, in direct hernia this is done to prevent the recurrence of hernia.. Doctor will the mesh allergy, mesh is made of inert metal which don't react with external agent.. But if you are really allergic to it then they will remove it...
