Can placement of abdominal mesh be done at the same time as a hysterectomy?

Asked By:Jcwoods68 in Greenville, SC

In 2015 I had the DIEP Flap procedure. Due to a weakening of the fascia I now have a prominent and off centered bulge. Several surgeons have told me the only repair is the placement of mesh in my abdomen. Completely unrelated, but now I need a hysterectomy. I was wondering if both these procedures can be performed at the same time.
