Abdominal hernia prosthesis

Surgical Meshes Surgical Meshes have become standard for the repair of abdominal wall hernias. Surgical mesh is a sterile woven material designed for permanent implantation within the body during open or laparoscopic procedures. A wide range of mesh implants are available, with two main functions: to stabilise and strengthen soft tissue defects, and to act as a sling to support prolapsed organs and viscera. It is most commonly used in pelvic organ prolapse, urinary stress incontinence and hernia repairs.
