Yes, removal of: Mesh is more complicated than placement of mesh, because it becomes adherent to all surrounding structures. Chronic neuralgia after inguinal hernia repair is a difficult problem, which requires expert care that might involve nerve release or even nerve transection. Consult with an experienced surgeon for definitive advice.
