How safe is the use of mesh in revision surgery?

April 23, 2024
Asked By:GetGab in Chicago, Illinois

I have a moderate case of “bottoming out”. This was evident a few months after surgery in 2020. I’ve been told the fix involves inserting mesh and I’m concerned about another foreign object in my body. Especially since mesh is really difficult - if not impossible - to complete mremove in the event of adverse effects. Is there an alternative that can still fix the “bottoming out” appearance?
