Summary:
Hello everyone!
In this video, we will address a very important question we get asked every time we advise a patient that they have to undergo a hernia operation. And this question is - sir, they say when you put a mesh for a hernia operation, there can be so many problems because of the mesh. And that is why I don’t want a mesh. Can you do an operation without a mesh? So this mesh in a hernia operation is an extremely useful innovation which drastically and dramatically increases the success rate of hernia repairs. But these meshes have their own share of problems. But luckily, the problems we face because of mesh, is much rare. So today, in this video, let us see what can go wrong when you use a mesh to repair a hernia.
The most important dreaded complication when using a mesh to repair a hernia is the risk of infection. Meaning the mesh is a foreign body. It does not belong to our human body. It is a foreign object which is kept inside the human body and stitched. This means the mesh does not or will not have the normal blood supply like every other part of the body has. In any other part of the body when an infection is introduced, the immune cell and the antibiotic medicines are immediately sent to that part through the blood vessels, and these help in fighting the infection and the infection is cured. But when a foreign prosthetic material is kept, like a mesh or an implant or a rod for a fracture, there is no blood supply. So the bacteria in case they get lodged into the mesh, are completely protected from the antibiotics or the body’s natural immunity. So whatever medicines you give cannot reach the mesh. This is the reason once the mesh gets infected, it is very difficult to cure that infection. So many times, the antibiotics do not work. And the only cure for this would be to re-operate and remove the mesh altogether. So this is a dreaded complication but luckily, in good hands and in good standard hernia repair centres, the chance of a mesh infection happening is extremely rare, to the extent of less than one percent. See in most places, hernia operation is extremely safe with a very very low risk of mesh infection.
The next much rarer but more serious complication is mesh erosion. This means the mesh can sometimes start sticking to the nearby vital organs, significantly, the urinary bladder or the intestines and can start eating into that organ and create a hole in the organ. This is an extremely rare complication which happens in less than 0.1% of patients. But when this happens it needs a re-operation and the mesh has to be removed and the hole in the intestine or the vital organ has to be repaired.
All these complications of mesh are not common at all. So this should not scare one when somebody says you need a mesh for hernia repair. You should not say no, no I have read that very serious things can happen because of mesh. I do not want a mesh. The benefits of a mesh are far far more important than the chances of these complications happening. If the mesh is not used in cases of a hernia which actually needed a mesh, the chances of re-occurrences are very high. So the patient would end up coming repeatedly for hernia repairs. The advantages of using a mesh far outweigh these complications and in good centers, these are extremely low risk of having these complications. So the mere knowledge of these complications should not deter you from being scared of a mesh or trying to avoid getting a mesh for a hernia repair.

[@jiujitsu94]

After your surgery, here's what you need to do. Number one, lose a little bit of weight. It'll take pressure off the area. Number two, give it time to heal. Worst mistake I ever made was going back to lifting weights two weeks later. You need to be patient and wait the full 6 weeks. Number three, eat healthier foods. No processed foods, avoid too much sugar. It'll help bring down inflammation. Good luck with your surgeries guys! I had a laparoscopic inguinal hernia surgery last August. My pain is about 90% gone. Still healing and being careful.

I've had both right and left side hernia repairs using mesh. This was several years and have had 0 issues.

[@UCanHaveHim]

Those who've had this done complain about complications quite often. I've seen a tummy tuck done and the woman had a umbilical hernia. The doc just pushed it back in and sewed it up and started the tuck. Explain. Why did he just push it in and sew it up without mesh? I also know the mesh combines with your own tissue over time and if there are complications and the mesh needs to be removed, your tissues will have to be ripped out along with the mesh and many docs who can put the mesh in don't know how to properly remove it which makes no sense.

I live in Michigan but I went to Shouldice Hernia Hospital in Toronto, Canada to get my double inguinal hernias fixed. They do not use mesh but rather stich overlapping layers of muscle to contain the hernia. They do use fine stainless steel wire for the suturing. I actually did this because I had no insurance at the time and it was much cheaper in Canada and now, after reading and hearing about all of the problems with mesh repairs I'm so glad I did!

Stainless steel is a foreign object too. It can also be rejected by your body and must be removed ! FYI

Although I get the very occasional "twinge" I've had no pain or complications.

It's a never ending nightmare. Maybe a small amount of mesh doesn't complicate as often but I have 3 large sheets of it. Plus I can't find any surgeons who are willing to take it out. I can't even find any local drs who will even see me due to all the issues and complications. Even my local ER won't treat me when I get an infection in it. They force me to go to the hospital, 2 hours away, where it was put in. SMDH

Well, I'm one of these rare patients that's had to have a re-hernia repair operation because the 1st surgeon put the wrong kind of mesh in my lower abdomen and my body was allergic to it, I had a pin sized hole that formed below my navel that was draining clear fluid and then a year later I was in severe pain, I had to get a 2nd surgeon to examine me and he said that it was possible that I might have 2 recurrent incisional hernias, so I was back on the operating table again. The surgeon was right, I had 2 incisional hernias, plus the mesh that I had inside of me had stuck to part of my small intestines so the surgeon had to shave off part of my small intestines to get it a loose from the mesh. All because the mesh was the wrong type, my body was draining fluid because it was allergic to it, and my body was in pain because the mesh stuck to my small intestines!! This surgeon put the right kind of mesh underneath the bad kind so that my intestines wouldn't get stuck to the mesh again and so that no more hernias would form.

Though there's still risks involved as with any surgery. The mesh is a must with hernia repair because it does help in preventing any more hernias from forming. I hope this helps you.

I had laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair (with a mesh) six (6) months [not days/weeks] ago and it has been horrible. My condition is actually worse than before the surgery. The mesh feels like a piece of sandpaper was surgically implanted inside of my body and the area where the hernia was a half year ago is still painful and swollen. My right testicle has been swollen and inflamed and is still approximately 100% larger than my left testicle. My condition is worse because of the pain and aching associated with my testicle being affected as opposed to just the less sensitive abdominal material that would occasionally protrude though my abdominal wall. My condition is affecting my activity level. I cannot walk for extended periods of time before the aching spreads to my lower belly area causing an upset stomach and ultimately headaches. I am dealing with chaffing because of the abnormal size of my right testicle. I can no longer complete a full yoga workout, ride a bike or jog/run and this has caused my physical condition to continually decline since the surgery. I have lost notable muscle mass, flexibility and my energy level is continually lessening.

I had an umbilical hernia fixed many years ago - 30 or so years ago. That hernia failed so a full screen door of mesh was inserted in 2001. This year, 2023, I had that hernia completely dislodged and then became strangulated. 2 years ago I found a tiny piece of plastic in my thumb - deep in my thumb. This 2023 strangulation required a full hernia mesh replacement and the doctors did not find one piece of my previous mesh in my entire abdomen - nothing. I think that mesh dissentigrated and has become lodged in the fat of my thighs and underarms - as if my body is encircling it. Is that possible.

This does not help someone needs hernia repair however, I have undergone hernia it is good to know risk is low and should not be a deterrent for getting a hernia repair with mesh. thanks doc

[@user-up4df5hx4i]

Useful

[@salahhamze]

This doesn’t even begin to cover the full spectrum of problems with the mesh. And due to patients with complications being dismissed and not counted, your statistics are incorrect. I’ve been suffering for 14 years with complications relating to my lymphatic system as well as endocrine problems from the chemicals in the polypropylene composite, like oleamide, and I’ve never been counted. And erosion is the norm after a decade. How many people in whatever studies you’re referencing for complication rates had their meshes in for over a decade? These problems are extremely common, but those of us with complications are not believed, helped, or counted for these statistics.

[@bp50blu]

Did you get another hernia repair with the newer meshes? The doctor mentioned the ones used in laparoscopic surgery as being more successful in terms of a lower incidence of complications. Be that as it may, 1% is still a lot. The FDA, WHO, and NIH all said that the Covid vaccines were safe. There were skeptics who didn't believe them and now those safety claims are' being challenged with all the sudden deaths that include both healthy individuals and those with existing co-morbidities; not to mention those who've developed other illnesses like cancer. I ran across a mass action lawsuit against one of the manufacturers (Bard). And that continuing lawsuit keeps adding to the number, which as of February 22, 2023 was at 18,813 cases, up from 17,954 in November 17, 2022. These are all the cases in all 50 states in the U.S.. It is the 3rd largest mass tort in the U.S. One law firm is handling all of these claims and this is just one manufacturer. So imagine all the other lawsuits involving all the other manufacturers. I'm looking into abdominal hernia repair for my mom since she's suffering greatly. She's 80 years old and experiencing constipation relieved only with laxatives. She discovered a lump under her skin to her right of her belly button on Feb. 14. It wasn't painful then but she couldn't poop for about 7 days. It wasn't until she took a laxative that she could relieve herself. Bloody diarrhea came out. After that she started experiencing extreme pain. She can barely get up from sitting or lying down without any help. Her resting heart rate ranges from 100 - 110 bpm. Her mental awareness is severely diminished. I don't know how much longer she can go on with any treatment. She's already fragile with other health problems so she doesn't need anymore due to a surgery or leaving the hernia untreated. Are you aware of any non-mesh surgeries?

[@salahhamze]

@@bp50blu The Desarda technique is great for those whose hernias it applies to. I also like things like drinking 2L of water first thing in the morning, and a restrictive diet of fresh, local, in-season fruit, animal products, minimal veggies, and quality grains like sourdough. I also really like enemas. As far as new mesh, it’s all the same. Plastic doesn’t belong in the body, period. They lie to patient after patient saying the new mesh is better. That’s what most of the sufferers in the mesh injured groups were told. The data is so skewed because mesh patients who come back to complain are disregarded. The rates of success are far from reality. That’s all I can really say from my experience. I wish your mother all the best.

[@blsk3719]

I have been putting off surgery because I can’t find a surgeon that won’t do mesh. I’m so angry. I’m so sorry for your injury. I do not want plastic in my body.

[@graceduff299]

I didn't even know I was getting mesh... I literally had surgery yesterday and I'm just finding out all this stuff about the problems. I am already auto immune and I'm extremely distraught if I am honest.... Would it have been in the fine print that I give them permission to do that? Granted they found extra hernias in the same area next to my navel but I was told I was getting a single stich in my abs and woke up feeling like I've been stabbed.

The Desarda surgery is great! It's just much longer recovery. And it has a percentage of it coming back. Like in my case. After 5 years of pain free, now its back unfortunately

I have a hernia on my right abdomen from gallbladder removal surgery. They did the open one and not the 3 holes on me. What are the chances of any of that happening to me? My weakness is violent coughing and violent sneezing in which I have to hold my right abdomen from expanding too much during the short episode. I was hoping the mesh would slowly dissolve not remain there indefinitely and the body would use the mesh to create a new layer as an abdomen wall or something like a meat graph from another part of my body and use that to block the hole. I definetely do not want a groin pain as I have that or it's a groin strain but currently has been mitigated with leg, lower back, walking exercises and only happens when I stand.

My second inguinal hernia mesh seems to be holding well after 5 months. I had very little pain after the operation and now have 2 mesh in place. The surgeon was delighted but amazed I had little pain as he said it was difficult. The first operation failed, different surgeon.

Hello, how much do you charge for hiatal hernia surgery?

[@considerthetruth]

I got issue #2 and it's horrible. I'm also still sore around the hernia spot 7-8 weeks after surgery

[@harrym1170]

i was for 6 months without the mesh. Took about 1.5 years for it to feel solid and strong again.

[@FedPhoenix2]

I have a wide mouth spagnolian hernia. Awaiting surgery. Was told mesh will be necesary.

[@aeryntorres1950]

I have my surgery in 2 days I'm extremely nervous and worried i never really had any trips to the hospital for anything and this being my first ever surgery especially next to my boys makes me nervous i hear some people still feel pain after the 7-14 day mark even longer i dont want to be apart of that.

[@061Hitachi]

I had surgery on the left hernia in November and the right side a month ago in May. I sneezed and felt terrible pain and now there is pain and bulging on the left side. This is devastating news to me as I am not sure where I can get it removed.

[@Roscoe1279]

I have an umbilical hernia. The doctor says 'robotic surgery with mesh'. Although rare, as this doctor says, I'm VERY concerned about any mesh problems occurring, especially sticking to my intestines and chronic pain.

[@user-ww9yw4zi8m]

I think I had this, but mine went away, might come back, might have to go though this, but as surgery's gos its quick and easy and you get a 6 week rest :)

[@davidprice9792]

I have the extreme rare nerve mixed up in the mesh. It affects a nerve going to my testicle. When the nerve is really irritated the one testicle starts to retract into my body. And unfortunately I was on a lot of pain meds. By the grace of God I got a medtronic electrical implant which has helped me get away from pain meds and give me life back. The mesh ruined my life. The doctor told me if he could get the nerve out he would but he said it was impossible. I out alot when this happened. I would not recommend the mesh to anyone.

[@s.zepeda2323]

do people have a choice not to get the mesh? or is mesh mandatory..i have umbilical 2cm

[@davidprice9792]

I have no idea if the was other options. The doctor told me this was the way it needed to be done. But in less than 10 years the doctor told me if it was possible to get the nerve out of the mesh he would do it for free. But he said it was impossible. I knew this doctor personally, I built his house.

[@user-ql9vm5oh3h]

Do some exercises and diet plan there is exercises fir umbilical hernia

[@StephanieEddy-ph4ph]

5:45 I’m in a hospital now as we speak. And the doctor assigned for my care walked out on me. All I did was ask 3 questions. She turned around and walked away. I could die, I say this because I had a mini stroke back in August while having a bowel movement. My pcp referred the surgeon. She signed off on the hernia w mesh operation. I was never told about the mesh implant being used. I seen my primary care physician every single month since 2013. She signed off on the surgery and sent me home in 2020 every visit every single month I came into her crying puking with every bowel movement, losing weight with one symptom after another continuing to happen that I’ve never had before, I would explain to her face-to-face that it felt like a foreign object was inside of my body. She would send me home with no explanation that there was a foreign object inside my body with medicines that I never needed now I just have so many symptoms I don’t even know if I have hope. Thank you doctor for making this educational video. I was happy to find out. I’m probably the one percent but I’m also not sure that I’m gonna get the help I need because I’ll need the one percent in the medical field a doctor that’s qualified and also wants to help a patient without worry of the consequences of the four doctors that lied to me and with how critical information about the mesh for over four years now hoping I’m not too far gone thanks again, I wish I could come to you Dr. because I think you could help me…

[@Foodswings04]

Hello sir i also had uritric stricture surgery ..ist safe to go for 4.1cm hernia surgery please reply

[@krippaxxuseredarlordofthes9940]

What I don't understand is, how can it be good to take a relaxed (!) elastic object (mesh) and fixate it on a tense (!) object (inner belly wall)? when the gas is removed and the belly is in a relaxed state again, what happens to the mesh, that got fixated in place? depending on how strong the fixation is, it would create wrinkles together with the tissue or the fixation gets lose and the mesh is now in an uncontrolled position. please, anyone with experience can answer this?

I’m afraid that i have this second testicular pain, it’s been a month since i did my inguinal hernia surgery (lapro). May i know how long i will feel this discomfort? Will it cure by itself after sometime or i will have treat it?

[@StephanieEddy-ph4ph]

I’ve experienced severe reaction and complications form my mesh implant. I actually came out of anesthesia from the surgery screaming and thrashing however, in my case I didn’t have ethical doctors that were honest and they withheld the information that mesh was used. I’ve been rushed back to the same hospital where they practice from over 150 times by ambulance because my bowel movements are with severe vomiting, blood pressure drops and now finding a doctor to help me is almost impossible. It’s been four years. My teeth are cracking. My lymph nodes are swelling all over my neck. I have spongy dermatitis. My breasts are completely calcified. There’s not a doctor locally that wants to get involved because they don’t want to be the doctor that gets the other ones that were dishonest and withheld this information about the mission plant from me in trouble. This has been at my expense in April one month ago something came out in my bowel movement. It was very long and look like a surgical type material, since this happened not vomited with any bowel movements nor needed nausea medicine that I’ve needed to take every six hours since March 6, 2020 when the mesh was implanted when I have a bowel movement now the left side of my body goes completely numb. I’m stuck in this body and I can’t find doctors to help me.

[@markuse3472]

This is insane. Nerves work the same for everyone, so how will one person not have any pain while another suffers severely from pain? How does one person not be infected while another will (apart from in surgery contamination)? How does the mesh stay intact as intended for some but not for others? Are only the highly insured treated better than the poor masses?

[@karljwitzke328]

I have all these symptoms

Doc it's been 6 years since my hernia repair with a mesh and it's still tender & slightly sore. My husband & I decided it's best for him to get a vasectomy done. The vasectomy was a botch & he was in hospital for a month after. Never went for a sperms count as the specialist confirmed were safe, but we just found out that I'm pregnant. I'm so terrified of the pain!?

My son had a laproscopic umbilical hernia surgery with mesh. What a horrible ordeal he had he is only 23 he got the operation on 17 /11/23 and got rushed back in on the 23/11/23 and had to get the mesh removed and it never got put back in. They ended up having to have the operation done the old fashioned way. He is very lucky it could have been very different if i had not phoned the doctor. Iam not trying to frighten anyone as a mum it was terrifying he just got home today and doing well. Iam from Scotland

[@fredrickcallahan4292]

My 10-year-old son was just diagnosed today with a small reducible inguinal hernia and we see a surgeon next week for consultation. What may I ask was the reason your Son had to return to the hospital so quickly and is your Son feeling better now?
