    What about an absorbable temporary lattice that is sprayed or soaked in the patients own stem cells, to try and encourage native tissue growth? Is that just nonsensical?

    What about a temporary mesh that was soaked in platelet rich plasma? Any theoretical benefit?

    Are there any recent updates or ongoing research with the completely absorbable meshes?

    Is there any longterm data/evidence supporting the Desarda repair yet?

    Can you give any more details about this? What’s the recovery like compared to other repairs? Has it been effective or tried on a patient with pre-op pain?
