  • Least bad mesh?

    So I am now understanding how one might get stuck to either suffer with the hernia or suffer with the mesh. What is the best/least dangerous mesh that one might be willing to accept (because no other option is available)?

    Hi alephy. Sorry for the delay in response the email Notification process does not work for my account.

    I hate to send you to the Search function but I have written quite a bit about my situation. As I’ve mentioned in other posts, I had the mesh removed and there was no hernia remaining to repair. I’m not really waiting for anything anymore and coping well, like anyone who has suffered a serious medical condition might.

    Here is one Topic that I pulled up using the Search function of the site. There is a lot of information already collected and posted on the site by many other people. I hate to put you off but my original descriptions are probably the best.
    Good luck.

    @good-intentions you are waiting for a better future approach and or pure tissue repair right? How do you cope? Do you do specific exercises?

    There is only a single “official” bad mesh according to the International “Guidelines”, and that is the plug and patch. But all of the others are on the menu as “mesh” choices. They are not rated, they are considered to be all the same, apparently.

    All mesh comes with risk but I would say Dual layer mesh Prolene Hernia System and Plugs. Lap mesh 3D Max and Progrip.
