A member asked:
I had a colon resection done in may 2017, during this they found and removed an infected inguinal hernia mesh, could this have caused the colon issues?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Colon resection: Why was the colon resection done? for cancer or adhesions/ infection? If adhesions /infection possibly yes, if cancer polyps likely no.
