- I made it nine months. Last November I had a robotic mesh repair of an inguinal hernia. The repair lasted less than a year and it has failed. Needless to say, I am not happy.

Sorry you are experiencing a failed repair. As a former lousy Cat 3, bike messenger, and currently, a recreational rider, I feel your pain. I am two weeks out from a Desarda repair. Hoping that it holds up! No cross racing for me, but i will wait three months before I try any sprinting. Hoping you will have better success with any subsequent procedures.
Good luck my friend.
It is advised to have open surgery and wait three months before beginning physical therapy because laparoscopic surgery, unfortunately, has a higher failure rate than open surgery.
I have the ultrapro ethicon mesh implant but after a very long time I was suddenly told that this brand was a safer alternative and did not qualify for compensation.
I had my hernia surgery 7 weeks ago it was an open repair with mesh. I was told to not lift anything for six weeks and not to ride my bicycle for three months to let it heal. I live in the uk so far I haven’t had a problem and feel great. Good luck and take it slow
I hope you heal up well. Thanks for your well wishes.

I am deeply saddened that your hernia repair failed. I am praying for you and for your acceptance of this misfortune. I watched all of your Inguinal hernia videos so many times before my surgery three weeks ago that I feel like I know you and that you are my friend. You need to know just how much valuable information I got from your videos and how much they kept me calm throughout my surgery. I watched your videos EVERY day for a week after my surgery! The failure of your hernia is about as unbelievable as the reason that I got mine from constipation from hydrocodone from dental implant surgery! I'm a very active 70 yr old woman who was in great shape before this surgery and I've been walking my feet off since I heard you talk about how you walked after your surgery. I appreciate everything you have done for me. Wishing you happiness and great health! 🙂
I appreciate your comment. Like I said in the video, even though the hernia has come back, I still would have had the hernia fixed in the first place. Things happen in life. We just have to accept it. The good Lord is in charge.
This turns my stomach in the way a horror movie would. It truly humbled me this random Friday afternoon about how delicate our flesh and bones are.
Doctor, thanks for this very enlightening discussion. As you know they call it "practicing medicine" for a good reason. I'm a research psychologist who worked in a medical office for years and recognize that even the best of surgeons aren't miracle workers. In fact, I had a radical prostatectomy where my surgeon allowed a resident to perform the procedure, which ended up very badly.
Several years ago after they botched prostatectomy, I developed a hernia (after repeatedly punching myself in the gut, hoping to strengthen, my abdominal muscles -- Yeah, stupid). My hernia was never painful, however.
I then spoke with the general surgeon who pointed out that only about 1% of these types of inguinal hernias strangulate each year. So he suggested that I might want to just live with the issue rather than undergoing surgery. I'm now 80 years old but in very good health.
Tomorrow, I meet with another general surgeon, and thanks to your explanations, I'll have many questions.
Hopefully, they'll be able to re-repair your hernia, and you'll be able to get back to full activities in the not-too-distant future. Thanks again for your candor and I'm sorry for your problems. Alan E. Diehl, Ph.D.
Thank you for your comment Dr. Diehl. I too am getting another opinion in a few days.
Just had mine yesterday. Right side, open surgery . I plan to take it easy, for ever, to prevent this from happening to me. Once repaired my surgeon told me it’s only 85% as strong an original. And if repaired again, even less. Good luck!
did you have a mesh and how old are you??
@@ceskir yes, 66
Thankyou, at 79, I have to stop thinking and acting like I'm 55. Thankfully I will be able in a few weeks to get back to the Rail-Trail and do my 7 miles on my Lectric 2.0. I have been rode hard and put away wet due to my Get-er Done attitude, and now I will have to find that fine line before 'When You Rest You Rust".
Sorry to hear that the repair has failed. I had laprascopic surgery with mesh just over two weeks ago. I truly hope mine is successful. I am very active though so we shall see how active I am once recovery is complete....all the best.
All the best to you as well. Thanks for your comments.
I had a right and left side Inguinal open done 3 weeks ago. I had the mesh done. I am also a cyclist and was thinking about getting on the bike soon. I think I will hold off until next season. My surgeon did say it takes a full year to 100% heal. I have been doing mostly walking for now, but I am anxious to at least hit the gym, but this makes me think twice.

It's better to wait 1 year than taking risk for reoccurrence
Thanks for the update.
Thank you for this video. I had a hernia surgery 2 months ago, and am experiencing similar problems.....I was a little worried and still concerned. I didn't know what to do. But now I'll set an appointment with my surgeon and have a conversation to see what my options are. This video really helped me and I dont feel alone in this issue anymore. Ty.
Thanks for the level of details you are sharing with us. I have been living with mine for almost 9 months and trying to manage without surgery with some days better than others. I’m going to keep managing it until I no longer can. Hang in there Doc.
Thank you for sharing this. You have a great channel. I appreciate all the information you share.
Thanks for your nice comment.
Sorry to hear this, but thank you for sharing.
Thanks for your comment.
Thanks for sharing, Doctor. It is a nice thing to hear what others have experienced, either good or bad, and helps us all make choices. Wishing you no problems and all the best with your upcoming races.
Many thanks 👍
Nooo! Man this is humbling.
Thanks for sharing this with us Doc. I'm sorry for you as I know how it is to be a fitness person and have a setback. I like how you're going about it and it makes sense to me. I am 73 days post op myself. I had a r/s inguinal hernia repaired and I decided to get an old umbilical hernia done at the same time. My surgeon recommended laparoscopic with mesh for the inguinal and decide on the umbilical mesh at the time of surgery - which it was so small we did not do the mesh for the belly button. It went well. Before surgery the surgeon told me I would have a 1 to 2% risk of recurrence for the inguinal and the umbilical could be as much as 20% because of where it is and no mesh. After surgery I felt good but held off my strength training and my gravel bike riding completely. Still havent done anything really and my wife is doing al the chores. At 2 weeks, i went to see my surgeon for post op review and it was a different person. They had a surgical resident do the surgery. I wish I had known. Also she was guarded on the risk of reoccurrence. No mention of the 1 to 2% risk -- instead it was "we can't predict if or when - everybody's different." I was like, but it's 1 to 2%......!!! Percentages do matter dont they? Anyway, I still feel like I have a balled up sock down there still and my right side inner thigh and hip flexors hurt every time I stand up. I am now 18 pounds heavier as the only exercise I get is walking on the treadmill because I dont want to tear it up. No one in the hernia surgery business can give you a glide path on how to ease back into it either. So I am on my own. She told me if it reoccurs I cand do whatever I want -- laparascopic for the right side since they did open already and laparoscopic or open for the left. I feel like a walking time bomb. LOL I suspect it's time for a new hernia outcomes metadata study...... the current ones tell a far too optimistic story I'm afraid.
Edit: I am going to tell my PCM/GP doc in a few weeks when I see them for my annual exam that I am passing on my ten year colonoscopy for a year anyway. I am due this year and I see no reason to go passing a roto rooter down through there right after open mesh. Let's give it a rest. I hope this makes sense to him or her. I know they can be dogmatic about their timelines for screening.
Thanks for your comment. Much appreciated.
I wish it had turned out better for you. You'll know what to do about additional surgery in time. I look forward to watching more of your excellent videos.
Many thanks.
Good morning sir! I’m really sorry about what happened and I do wish you a speedy recovery. Would it have been better to just get an open hernia surgery from the beginning ?
So sorry to hear, I hope the next time is the last time.
🙏🏻's for you DR Dave
You’re so strong dude, we are proud of you and you inspire us. Ps so good they could see your hernia… as opposed to it being occult
Thanks for sharing Dr. I also have a very small inguinal hernia and the surgeon said I need it to get it fixed. I researched it and was alarmed but what I found out with mesh procedures- so I was considering the non-mesh techniques like the "Liechtenstein" or the "Desarda" techniques. Then I decided to buy a good hernia belt and in the instruction diagram, it says that after wearing the hernia belt for a while the hernia mouth would be healed. Of course, this is not the medical opinion, nevertheless, my hernia has gotten a lot better and I truly believe is going to heal. I know is kind of crazy considering what the surgeons said. But Dr. I decided to go this route and skip the surgery. I don't regret my decision so far anyway. Will keep you posted every 3 months if you like. Thanks again,
Al
What brand of hernia belt did you buy? Was it hard to get it positioned to keep the hernia in?
It's also same in my case,it will not heal with any belt at all,not now you really needed to go for surgery but after some months or years it'll become more bigger then only option left that's surgery...
So it's better to go for surgery as early as possible than waiting to get it bigger
My husband waited three years hoping his right Inguinal hernia would heal. Unfortunately, it became larger. He went to an excellent surgeon who does Desarda, but when the surgeon went to do the Desarda, there was too much tissue damage, since the hernia extended to the scrotum, so he used the Phasix mesh instead, which dissolves after 12-18 months. (My husband did not want a permanent mesh). Open surgery was recommended because the surgeon can better see and directly handle any issues discovered.
Now that my husband's surgery is completed, he is very happy, with very little, to no pain.
Yes, they can and do heal on there own. Comfort-Truss is the best support for that bar far, and the owner has many videos out on how to heal a hernia with proper exercises, etc.
@@fsmith4340does your husband now have a mesh or no??
I had bilateral inguinal and umbilical hernia surgery almost two months ago. So far so good. I would say that you're probably in a better position than others that might be in a similar situation. At least you have some medical knowledge. I would put some effort into really trying to figure things out. I'm always digging for answers and I have none of the medical training that you have. I hope that you figure out the best solution and work through what you need to do.
My inguinal hernia mesh procedure ( fully cut) has only lasted six months, no pain as yet thank goodness.
I think there are limitations after the operation which is frustrating if your very active especially in the procedure area. I hope our corrective work goes well.
I had robotic bi-laterial inguinal hernia repair in June 2021 and just like you, about two months ago, I noticed a bulge on my right side. My previous surgeon moved, so I went to a new surgeon who ordered a CT scan with contrast. The CT scan did not show an obvious recurrence but I got a bulge like a golf ball. So the surgeon desires to perform open surgery. I do work out a lot but no squats or deadlifts - lots of pull-ups and push ups. Very disappointed and not looking forward to repeating this process again.
So sorry... I should have an interesting update video out shortly. Best of luck to you.
Thanks for sharing. I pray your hernia problems are solved. I’ve had 2 hernias for at least 30+years. Each has grown considerably but with little to no pain. I use hot and cold therapy to ease occasional soreness. I’m 76 years old and will get surgery only if in great constant pain or bowel obstruction. I know I’m rolling the dice and hope to die with it and not because of it😂
Very sorry
Hope for your healing
I am suspicious of mesh but do not know alternatives
I hope there are braces
My Mom had one many years ago. I wonder if techinque was different. Maybe hers was less serious.
Take extra good care of yourself.
Many thanks!
I heard they lift exercise restrictions for the sake of the insurance companies, which is just sad. I hope you are feeling better. Thank you for posting. At this point, I have to give up singing after already giving up dance for the next month or so anyway. I'm 6 wks post-op from bilateral inguinal plus right side femoral laparoscopic robotic hernia repairs. I'm having a lot of groin pressure after eating and diarrhea every morning. I recovered from diverticulitis last week. I am otherwise a healthy person. I've lost 10lbs through this, which isn't much, but I was barely at normal BMI to begin with. I'm on a water fast right now, with the intention and starting a very light, high fiber diet tomorrow. This is my normal diet, too, but I'm gonna start with just one meal a day and see how that goes.
I wish you the very best. Thanks for your comment.
I had open surgery, for right inguinal hernia, with mesh plug insertion plus a mesh patch, 16 days ago. So far, so good. It feels like a solid repair. I have been walking but intend to refrain from doing anything athletic for a while.
Heal well 👍
I had mine 7 years ago just don't want this I agree but thank god we have dr that can help us.the burning in bellybutton
I just got one last night, had been burning for a while and I guess finally tore. Protruding about half the size of a golf ball. I can’t meet with my PCP for another 5 days and then the surgeon. I appreciate your videos on this as I’m concerned about it happening again as well.
I do wish you the best. Thanks for your comment.
Had hernia surgery (non-robotic laparoscopic) three weeks ago at Mayo Clinic/Phoenix. Feeling better with each passing day. I listened to their advice and didn't do much other than rest. Left side direct and indirect inguinal hernias, right side direct inguinal hernia, and small umbilical hernia. Inguinal hernias repaired using Bard heavyweight polypropylene mesh. Umbilical hernia didn't require mesh. Two surgeons were needed for this type of repair. Main surgeon does these procedures every day so I wasn't too concerned about having a resident assist him. Afterall, they have to learn somehow. I've had plenty of procedures at Mayo Clinic over the years and they always do a great job. The place works like clockwork. Professional, clean, and friendly.
Howw uu feeling am trying to get main done in phoenix
Wow thanks
Bard makes a Phasix mesh now for Inguinal Hernias, which dissolves in 12-18 months, allowing collagen and scar tissue to form in that time frame. We also learned that open surgery is better because the surgeon can fully see all issues at time of surgery. My husband just had the open Phasix mesh Inguinal surgery and it went well, very little pain.
I’ve just had Phasix mesh repair for a femoral hernia a few days ago. Crossing my fingers. I didn’t want permanent plastic mesh. Still too early to know how effective it’s been. At least I can be fairly sure I won’t have long term issues from mesh once it dissolves.
I would look into Shouldice repair as an option if possible. Hope you’re feeling better these days
one of thd best decisions
Thanks for the stream. Like yourself, six months ago I had my Inguinal hernia repaired robotically and I immediately got back on my road bike and unfortunately my pain has returned. Would you be so kind to explain or provide a linky that explains the symptoms of when hernia surgery fails? Thanks Joe Florida
Hi. I’m 77 and a fit dude hard core mountain biker hard core kite surfer. I researched this a bit after I got an inguinial hernia and have three friends that have failed mesh surgery I decided to get no mesh hernia surgery in Florida by Dr Tomas who specializes in the Desarda technique I had this done four weeks ago. So far I think it’s one of the best decisions i made I’m still taking it easy and listening carefully to my body
Same for me, mine was the umbilical hernia, and it pretty much failed in a couple of months. The money is a very frustrating part, too. My hernia is way bigger and worse than it was prior to the surgery.
did they put a mesh in you?? did you have a repair surgery or whay
My mother wore a hernia belt for years for her huge hernia. We worried & tried to get her to have it repaired because we thought her intestines would twist during the night. But she absolutely refused because of all of the mesh failures & terrible complications resulting in lawsuits over the meshes used. She was terrified to go through with the surgery. I understand your disappointment. Makes me wonder if other countries have a higher success rate, and if so, what surgery method are they using? Something newer or a tried and true method? Thanks for sharing an update with us. Dang, I though for sure it was repaired for good. Wishing you good luck with the race(s)!👍
The only non-mesh surgery that works I know of is the Shouldice Surgery, where they stitch the area back up various times.
It is a slower process, which is why many hospitals don't do them and, they prefer mesh repair since it gives money to it's producers.
No mesh. They can stitch the skin
@@markuse3472 3:21
Math did you go to shouldice?
Success?
How many years ?
Dang sorry for u man just remember to these doctors aren’t perfect neither are u it’s something we have to deal with. Hope nothing bad happens to you.
Thank. you.
They told us only 1% of surgeries fail !
Had left side inguinal hernia mesh 6 weeks ago. Right away it didn't really take. The size of the lump went down but I can feel it poking back out now already, appointment next week with surgeon.
Please update your experience
Thanks
How did this turn out for you?
@@skeetarus The surgeon messed up the surgery and it came back right away. I have to have it redone this week.
@@yamabushi_nate7825how u feeling now
Hi Doctor thank you for sharing your experience. I just had my inguinal hernia six days ago
The first three-day was not great not in term of pain I have not had any pain so far and have not taken any pain killer or any kind of medication just too many times bowel moments because of the surgery effect and beside you can not strain yourself
You are a surgeon yourself with a wealth of knowledge at the same time you have a love for cycling do you think it might have had some kind of impact on your hernia recurrence. I had my first hernia 31 years ago with the old technology and open cut this time it was laproscopy with five incisions. So far so good . I got to see how it progress.but took me five months of suffering pain here in canada waiting for a surgery takes so long and in Bc canada the government does not allow private clinic to perform any hernia surgery. It is a long painfull waiting and suffering. By the way I do a lots of walking and lots of deep breathing.
Thank you for your comment. I do think that my intense bike training played a part in my robotic hernia failure. In fact, the repair failed the day after an intense interval workout. I do hope you heal up well without any complications.
Did they both come back or just one?
My open in Greenough hernia repair from 18 years ago failed but the new surgeon now wants to do an open surgery again which we’ve come along way with laparoscopic surgery. I don’t know why she can’t do it laparoscopically think I might have to find a new surgeon.
Had my inguinal mesh surgery laparoscopically it failed after 2 months they did at again but opened up the area this time ended up with a massive hematoma and bleeding from the area now its back again and bulges even more I think its time to sue
Go to Shouldice in Toronto. Get it done mesh free. Get it done right. The best in the world!
Go to Shouldice hospital in Markham Ontario and get a non mesh natural repair.
I'm very sorry to hear this The robotic laparoscopic is only as good as the skill of the "operator".Did he use a 3×6 mesh and how many tacks? Most general surgeons do not have the skill to remove all of the mesh and all the tacks correctly The mesh should never be cut and part of it left behind I would only have a hernia specialist do this repair Waiting 12 weeks before vigorous exercise should have been recommended Not 6 weeks as less cautious surgeons would say Personally,i would avoid the Poorly designed Bard 3D max mesh for your repair
Hey thanks for your comments. Hey why do you say "Poorly designed Bard 3D mesh"? Is their a "Best/better than others" mesh that you know of? It sounds like Bard3d is that standard and only one that they use for Inguanal hernias?
@@willwill3755 Because of it's design it has been linked to nerve entrapment in direct hernia repair in some patients Different types of hernias, and individual characteristics require different types of mesh such as,synthetic,hybrid, and natural tissue etc They all have their pros & cons And each type is best suited for a particular need
@@alohablue2907 , Thanks for telling me. I asked the surgeons office what type of mesh they would use, and they told me that it is a bard mesh. Now I am really thinking of cancelling my surgery next month, and just wearing a hernia belt indefinitely. They have been doing hernia surgeries for over 100 years now, you'd think they would have it down to perfection by now. Anyway, depressing.
@@willwill3755 Dont cancel the surgery If your surgeon won't use another type of mesh find another surgeon asap.,Your risking an incarcerated intestine which will lead to fatal consequences Even with its problems 3dmax is far less risky than no surgery at all. Hernia belts are just for comfort and won't save you from life threatening consequences. Hernia belts can't heal a hernia because the fascia is torn And this delicate thin tissue will not heal on its own. Are there other surgeons in your area?
@@willwill3755 When your hernia is out is it larger than a egg yolk? There are so many types of mesh it really depends on your particular need Your surgeon will determine what is best for you Before the surgery ask him what his choice of mesh is and why so your not surprised after the fact For inguinal hernia repair your surgeon will likely use a light weight synthetic mesh If you have any autoimmune conditions a non mesh repair is recommended. Ask your surgeon for the tag from the packaging after your surgery with the type of mesh and the lot number.That way,if there is a recall or issue with the repair in the future another surgeon will know what exactly was used if he can't get quick access to your past surgery report I know insurance problems are a pain. However,your time frame is too far away for safety Try to get the surgery done as soon as you can. The risk of not doing it asap can quickly become deadly if you get an incarcerated intestine. Personally, I feel TEP is a preferred method over TAPP for robotic assisted because the abdominal cavity is not entered while doing the repair However,If more working room is needed TAPP is the only option. If you can, interview at least two surgeons to see and judge how much they really care about you and your long term health Read reviews about each surgeon If a surgeon tries to brush over talking about complications or says pain will be mild..
That is a red flag to avoid that surgeon
Have you had the repair done? Mine was done open and it just failed after 3 months. I’m disappointed as my quality of life wasn’t so bad without the repair.
Not good.... Yes I've had mine done - I have a video update hopefully later today (if I have time to make it).
Sorry to hear about your experience
Next time its better to go for more experienced surgeon than going back to same surgeon
I did just that. I'll update everyone in about a month. Thanks for your comment and suggestion.
So does doctor cover expenses??
I suppose with age comes more time needed for recovery. It's really rough for those of us who enjoy fitness activities.
Thx for sharing. I've been thru the same thing. I'm also a cyclist and workout 5-6 days a week. I've had 3 of them. Not a big fan of the mesh it's not fool proof.
However your sharing helped. And wish you health, wealth and happiness to you and family.

You as well! Thanks for your comment.
The shouldice technique with Dr. Grishkan in Ohio! Did the mr. Olympia bodybuilders
My first hernia repair lasted 8 years. Now 4 years after second surgery it is bothering me again. Every surgery makes your abdominal weaker so it gets really frustrating.
It certainly does get frustrating.
@@frugalfoot4973 You may want to consider a hernia specialist. A surgeon who only does Hernias and nothing else. I think that I probably have another recurrence but after two failed surgeries I won't be using the same surgeon a third time.
What I'm gathering watching a bunch of these videos is that hernia surgery is more complex and difficult than one would expect. Maybe it's best to go to a hernia clinic instead of a general surgeon where hernia surgery is basically all they do and is their specialty.
If I were to do it all over again I would find a surgeon who specializes in hernia repair. My first one didn't. My second one did.
@@frugalfoot4973 Good to know. Thanks for your videos!
I have been putting off a hernia op for a while. Any surgery has risks. Are there any genuine natural repair options ?
No, I try every thing
I got a repair 14 year ago and still have pain. I pretty sure my mesh is failing get a pulling pain and fresh blood from my bowels.
Just found out a lot of meshs are geting recalled
If you're seeing blood in your stool it is a good idea to call your doctor ASAP.
Dr Todd Harris is the best
Could you give us the details of your surgical prodedure, and what exactly failed? Was it the TEP or TAPP approach? Was the mesh secured with sutures or staples? Did the mesh move, or did it tear? Was there infection? How soon after surgery did you return to exercise, and did that gave anything to do with it? I'm looking at laproscopic repair, TEP approach, non-robotic, with mesh in a couple of months, so I'm really anxious to know.
Robotic assisted is more accurate & precise than open surgery and conventional laparoscopic Less chance of ilioinguinal nerve entrapment etc.However,TEP is less invasive than TAPP And TEP does not have the small risk of organ damage associated with TAPP Find out in advance which light weight synthetic mesh your surgeon is using. Some are poorly designed and not safe to use
Yo cant put staples inside the body....they must be absorbable sutures.........
So I have a right inguinal hernia that is a little big . For my first hernia do you believe the open repair is better that robotic ?
What did you feel when it came back? I am now on 11 weeks and it had been intense..
The bulge came back - I knew immediately.
Thank you for your reply, mine area is tenderness. Did you also had that before it popped out again? And how do you feel now, did you surgery went well?
Mine was fine exactly a month ago / was open surgery
Now I’m a bit afraid 😢😢
hello, i had bi-lateral inguinal hernia repaired 3 months ago, don't do anything that puts a strain on your abdomen, don't lift anything heavy overhead, no sit-ups, if you feel it pinch or burn stop what your doing,, good luck.
@@58DELLA for how long not to do anything according to you ?
Never ? Or how many weeks I need to wait
@@davidguarin358 My doctor told me no heavy work or lifting for 6 months.
@@davidguarin358i think minimum 3 months
With insurance why was your deductible so much ?
These are the type of plans that the average self employed American has available to them. If you have a better plan, be grateful.
time to get on an excercise regiment that will reduce your hernia and almost eliminate it. there are a fair few youtube channels which have done this with great success. good luck
I appreciate your comment. However I don't ride my bike for exercise. I train for racing. If I wasn't competing, cycling, or exercise of any method, would be less of a priority for me.
@@frugalfoot4973 i understand completely, one of the lads here on youtube that is belt and symptom free also competes in Muay Thai so his body takes some damage. Most of the excersises are breath work, posture related and vacuum poses. Not necessarily ab work but deeper core work. Its worth a shot, the excersises wont add muscle mass just strengthen the tissue above the inguinal which allows scar tissue to form over time. about 15 mins of these basic targetted excersis per week helps (im 4 months in and tennis ball on the inguinal also extending into my testesvto a half a golf ball size, when it does pop out which is hardly ever)
MAYBE TIME TO GO EASY BRO OR SWITCH TO BETTER SURGEON !!
6 ???!!!
Wow.. so didn't know the technology isn't were we all want and need it to be. I think we should all poo by leaning forward to mimic a squat..as it requires significant less pressure that way.
I just had a inguinal hernia done 6 weeks ago and i been having pain since and the bulge is still there
So the bulge is the hernia again? It seems like we are hearing alot about failed mesh surgeries. Im getting ready to have one and still researching pros n cons of both and the dif approaches.
Shouldice hernia center Canada
Stop do not have mesh installed. You are young and fit. I also was young and fit. I had 4x repairs with mesh. I now have severe mesh issues.
I would consider a shouldice repair instead
This is very common , surgeons all say mesh is best because it is all they know how to do. Mesh is not natural to our bodies and does not belong there. Ask a surgeon if he will remove it and you will see a look on his face of terror , they don't know how.😅 Go no mesh !
Training in the first year then complaining is pretty stupid.
So if you've had mesh and you get a recurring hernia , whats the options??? . Regards.
