    Sorry to fill your thread with more research papers SN. If I were considering a repair I would focus more on the qualities of the surgeon. Not so much their skill level, but who they are as people. The surgeon that implanted the mesh in me was skilled but was more of a businessman than a true doctor.

    Here is the initial paper about the study I referenced above. It has a good writeup of the lack of knowledge about biologic materials, despite the fact that they were already prevalent in the market.
