Dear XXXXXXX Hi
Good evening.

I can understand your concern.

In addition to early complications of pain, infection the most common late complications include recurrence, adhesion, obstruction or perforation can occur with the use of mesh.
Can you please provide the following details like

1. What was the site of hernia, was it obstructed at the time of surgical repair?
2. What type of mesh was used to repair the hernia?

Awaiting your reply to analyze your condition in a better way to give the suggestions.
