I recently had laparoscopic surgery for an inguinal hernia, but it's been 10 days and now I'm dealing with fever and chills. They found out there's an infection and pus where the mesh is, though it's sterile with no bacteria found. The doctor thinks my body is rejecting the mesh and wants to do another surgery to take it out. Is there any other option besides a second surgery and mesh removal? And if they do take out the mesh, am I at risk of getting another inguinal hernia? Just looking for some advice on what to do next. Any suggestions?

Mesh is required to strengthen the wall, in direct hernia this is done to prevent the recurrence of hernia.. Doctor will the mesh allergy, mesh is made of inert metal which don't react with external agent.. But if you are really allergic to it then they will remove it...

View allFound a 15mm gallstone on ultrasound and my GP recommended surgery what exactly does this procedure involve and are there other options I should consider before going under the knife
Gallbladder removal (cholecystectomy) is the common surgery for this. It’s minimally invasive and safe. If asymptomatic or mild, you may try dietary changes or medications, but surgery is usually advised for symptomatic stones.

My mom is 70 and has asthma but also gallstones. Is it safe for her to have surgery for the gallstones given her asthma condition? I'm really worried about the risks
It's understandable to be concerned about your mother's safety, especially with both asthma and gallstones. While asthma does increase the risk of complications during surgery, with proper planning and management, a cholecystectomy (gallbladder removal) can be performed safely in elderly patients with asthma
