How difficult a hernia mesh removal surgery is?

Can be very involved: In any location it is difficult ; less so in groin position but ventral hernia infected mesh can become a big procedure especially if bowel is adherent to it.

Difficult: Usually when mesh has to be removed, it is difficult to bring the tissues together unless another mesh is used such as a biologic. There is also an increased risk of recurrent hernia, infection, and nerve injury.
