Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
You need to see a surgeon for a daily local treatment of the surgical wound. The surgeon may suggest a second intervention to substitute the net he has used or debridement may be enough.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Dr. Mirjeta Guni
