A member asked:
18 years ago, i had inguinal hernia mesh repair. i practice karate and do 180-splits (like the kind van damme does). would this tear/dislodge mesh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Doubt it: If this repair is several months old and the healing complete the mesh should be anchored well into the tissues so you kick should not dislodge the mesh
