Swollen Groin after ToT surgery
I had the tot surgery but my right groin is very swollen. Is this a normal part of the healing process?
MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL
The TOT (trans obturator Tape) surgery passes a synthetic graft through the obturator internus muscle, and emerges to the left and right of the pubic bone in the area of the groin (to the left and right of the clitoris generally speaking). Sometimes the graft passer can hit a blood vessel, causing pain and swelling in one or both groins. Depending on how long ago you had the procedure, there might also be an infection in the area. Please go back to your surgeon to have this problem evaluated to rule these out at your earliest convenience.

Hi, what is the TOT surgery?
Is there brusing in the right groin? Is it warm to touch? Like if a vessel bled at surgery a clot or hematoma can form. Then if it is a hernia of bowel from above it can appear in this location. Go to the doctor and have this sorted out if there is any question. It depends on the surgery, but this is a weak place in the system and many things present here. A loop of bowel slipping down into this space needs to be examined as it can twist or turn as it drops down and is pushed through a small opening. It causes discomfort and can damage the bowel by cutting off the blood supply and blocking the passage inside the bowel. It is not something to ignore. B
