Surgery to Remove Ethibond 2 Stitches?

I have been set up to have surgery to remove my infected ethibond 2 sutures, problem is he says he may not have enough skin to put me back together again & may require a wound vac. May require additional surgeries for hernia, infections and complications. Says there is a possiblity of eventually clearing up itself but because it is painful now he doesn't think so. Trying to decide if this is really necessary. We have been fighting this for 6 mos and have spit several sutures.
