Good intentions
ParticipantI hope the discussion will be expansive enough to consider the possibility, in an ideal world, of choosing pure tissue as the desired first choice and mesh as the fallback if pure tissue will not accomplish the long-term objective.
The discussion should also cover the solution to complications after surgery. This, of course, would include mesh removal. In other words, if there are problems with pure tissue, what is the solution plan, and if there are problems with mesh implantation, what is the solution plan. Otherwise, it’s just another discussion about “what I do”.
It would be very interesting also to talk about Dr. Ponsky’s opinions about mesh implantation for young people. His work showed, if I recall correctly, that mesh is contraindicated for men up in to their late 30’s and early 40’s.
Here is the other Topic created and down in the main forum section, with some details about Dr. Heniford. Dr. Heniford is one of the few people in the field who might actually drive some change.

ParticipantIs there supposed to be a Facebook Live link? I don’t even know what that is. There is only a Zoom link. Will it be on Youtube?

ParticipantIt was indeed a great session! May I ask when are these new studies on biological or absorbable meshes coming out? Some papers were mentioned with promising results on those….

KeymasterUsually there is a 1-2 year delay from presentation to publication.
Many of the papers on P4HB are already published by Dr Scott Roth and others. The Ovitex prospective study is also published.
