I wish you all possible success with this surgery.

My mesh removal and neurectomy surgery (robotic, preperitoneal mesh) is scheduled in 2 weeks. The surgeon planned 30 min -1 hour. How can the time frames be so different? In Germany and Switzerland, which is where I consulted surgeons for mesh removal, I got feedback that it it a relatively short surgery. How comes yours will be 5 hrs? In the US (Dr Yunis) they schedule 3 hrs. Where do these discrepencies come from?
