@mackaymouse you have got me thinking. I did not know that mesh was used as part of bladder repair surgery. Mesh was used on me in a hernia repair. I have problems with incontinence. Will the same surgeon that did the initial bladder repair be the one removing the mesh? Do you have a urologist & /or gynecologist involved for consultation? Perhaps this is a situation where a 2nd opinion is in order? A lot can change in 10 years. Maybe there is a newer more advanced treatment available that won’t leave you with permanent incontinence.

Yes, it will be the same Urologist that did the repair that will remove the mesh. I was seeing a gynecologist for the bleeding from my vagina, she was the one that suggested it might be mesh causing it.
The mesh is infected so no antibiotics will work. Google mesh lawsuits, this is a huge problem with bladder and hernia repairs. The manufactures are still making the mesh. It's crazy!!!
