I delivered my fourth child by emergency c-section at 24 weeks. Four days later underwent emergent surgery to remove necrotic tissue from infection. They removed all of the fascia on my left side, and I required a wound vac for closure due to lost tissue. Six weeks later I developed a bulge at the incision. I underwent laporscopic hernia repair for a 15 x 20cm hernia. It required 15 incisions and 3 screws in my public bone since there was no tissue left to stitch the mesh to. Six weeks later I had increased pain and pressure with the return of a bulge. My surgeon says there is nothing else that he can do. He says I need abdominal wall reconstruction. My insurance company denied the referral. I was seen by a military surgeon and he says he will simply replace the mesh through open surgery. He doesn’t believe that there is no fascia left! How do I know that it will hold this time?
