Hernia repair can go very wrong. There used to be instances of a mesh they used insinuating itself into the surrounding tissue, and even working its way through the skin of the surface.

I had a hernia operation several years ago... so far, so good, but the whole idea of some mesh device coming unraveled and screwing up my insides is a thought I’ve had once or twice... I’ve heard some nightmarish stories and I’d hate to have my own. For now... I knock on wood.

Euthanasia? Sounds like the ultimate medical abuse.

Euthanized.

Like a dog/cat/animal.

Lord, help us.

Once knew someone with a double hernia. Lots of moaning.

I’m almost certain that I have seen lawsuit commercials concerning this. Maybe the families of these poor souls should look into this. Or the victim should, if they live long enough.

I just had double (inguinal) hernia repair surgery last month. I was not too keen on having mesh implanted in my body, but laparoscopic surgery - which requires mesh - is the only option I had. So far, so good!

He apparently suffered with debilitating pain to the point of having no life and no prospect of things improving. Sad.

I have had a double hernia repair some years ago with Laparoscopic, then a radical Nephrectomy with Laparoscopic.
The worst part for me was not being able to pee before they would let me go. But now I have an Insional hernia that I keep pushing back, small but annoying.
