I have had 4 surgeries, First was a nissen Fundoplication, next was a hiatal hernia repair 40% stomach in chest. Third was an open abdominal repair of Hiatal hernia and they were suppossed to put in something called Timesh. 6 months later and I have hernia again and they will need to operate through the chest. When I reviewed the operation procedure notes I couln't see where any mesh was inserted and I am suprised that the hernia recurred as I was told it was unlikely after having the mesh.. In a nutshell I think they forgot to put the mesh in last time..
Hi...sorry, but we r not drs in this forum...it is a support forum and there is no way for us to tell u what ur dr did or did not do....

U may want to try the expert forum here on Medhelp, but the best u may do is a dr or a tech at the hospital where the surgery was completed.
May I ask y u need to know this now?
Good luck
