      My doc said he used no tacks or sutures to hold mesh in place. Is this common practice?

      Yes. There are a variety of ways to perform laparoscopic mesh fixation. One way is with no fixation, which is how I usually perform it, except for large hernias, obese patients, direct inguinal hernias, and femoral hernias. Options for fixation include glue, sutures, or tackers. There are risks and benefits for every choice.
