General Surgeon,  's  Response
Hi! Good evening. I am Dr Shareef answering your query. Although this needs a clinical examination of the lump, from your history of no trouble elsewhere, it seems to me that possibly this could be a organised hematoma or a reactive response to the mesh inside or its stapple/clip in the tissue. I would advise you to discuss about this with your surgeon and to go accoding to his advice.

I hope this information would help you in discussing with your family physician/treating doctor in further management of your problem. Please do not hesitate to ask in case of any further doubts.

Thanks for choosing health care magic to clear doubts on your health problems. I wish you an early recovery. Dr Shareef.
