Surgical mesh. Surgical mesh made of polypropylene, used for inguinal hernia. Surgical mesh is a loosely woven sheet which is used as either a permanent or temporary support for organs and other tissues during surgery. Surgical mesh is created from both inorganic and biological materials and is used in a variety of surgeries.
Hernias have a high rate of recurrence, and surgeons often use surgical mesh to strengthen the hernia repair and reduce the rate of recurrence. Since the 1980s, there has been an increase in mesh-based hernia repairsâby 2000, non-mesh repairs represented less than 10% of groin hernia repair techniques.
