I had an abdominal hernia repaired right by the belly button. they used mesh and I have not had any problems. I did have a surgery (resection) for crohn's about 8 months after that and the surgeon said he would have not problems, and if he did need the space, he would cut it out as needed. He did my surgery open, for other reasons, and was able to make the incision right below the mesh. he was a different surgeon that one who did the hernia, but he as able to get the surgical notes to know exactly what the other one did. hope this helps
