A member asked:
Could my abdominal mesh from hernia repair pose issues when i have my upcoming thoracic aortic aneurysm surgery (can this area be avoided?)
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Can be avoided: Be certain your surgeon knows about (he probably does very well since he's seen your CT and MRI), but the area can be avoided - the AAA can be approached from a different angle .
