A member asked:
Are adhesions that are leaking yellow puss normal after hernia repair with mesh?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No it is not: yellow pus is not a good sign after surgery specially after hernia repair in hernia they are using a screen routinely now, which is a foreign body and that does not like infection at all, some time it could be a sign of rejection of the screen. either way you need to tell your surgeon right away,
