What is Hernia Mesh?

Hernia mesh (also known as surgical mesh) is a type of medical device designed to support damaged tissue around hernias during the healing process. Medical professionals place the hernia mesh across the area that surrounds the hernia; they attach it with stitches, glue, or staples. The mesh is porous; therefore, it allows tissue to grow into the device. It allows for a lower recovery time and significantly reduces the risk of the hernia recurring (because of the added support).
