Seems when they gut you like a fish, the chances are pretty good you'll end up with an incisional hernia. I've been cut down the middle twice now, and also had my gall bladder removed through lap procedure. Surgeons say they've had to deal with a ton of scar tissue. I've already had one hernia fixed...and I've got some discomfort that may indicate I've got another hernia to deal with. My first was repaired by tightly sewing it together. My ONC surgeon really hated the thought of using mesh. Looking on the Internet, guess there are a lot of issues if you do use the mesh. Just wondering how some of you had your hernias repaired, and do you know if there is anything new (or on the horizon) that doesn't include the mesh? Just looking for your personal experiences regarding incisional hernias.
