    Finding no-mesh inguinal hernia surgeons on west coast?

    I am not aware of any good data to suggest there is even an increased risk of a problem, let alone a given subtype of disease. None of the polymers used evoke an immune response, but all evoke a foreign body response of variable, and unpredictable intensity. Some of the coated mesh products however can have contents in the coating that could cause an immune response in rare circumstances.
