A member asked:

On lovenox, (enoxaparin) surg. tomorrow. warfin lifer. removing mesh from hernia placed 5mo ago. how long approx. is this procedure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Can't tell here: Would need much more detailed information. Where is the mesh? How large is the mesh? Where was the mesh placed and in what layer? Why is the mesh being removed? Infection history? What are the other medical conditions? Only your surgeon can tell you what surgery will be needed and how long surgery may take.
