    Inguinal hernia: 33 year old female patient- mesh?

    I agree with Dr Goldstein. There have been no reports that I am aware with problems with pregnancy, delivery, or Csection after laparoscopic inguinal hernia repair. I would mention to the obstetrician that there is mesh there. And theoretically there can be problems (mesh infection). I review this with my female patients and still recommend it. Also, if thin female, I recommend lightweight mesh.
