Hernia Mesh Repair is a surgical procedure used to treat hernias by reinforcing the abdominal wall with a mesh implant. This method is often employed to prevent hernia recurrence and improve the strength of the abdominal wall.
The procedure involves placing the mesh over the weakened area of the abdominal wall and securing it in place, which helps prevent the hernia from returning. Mesh can be inserted through open surgery or laparoscopically, depending on the hernia’s complexity.
Postoperative care includes monitoring for infection, avoiding heavy lifting, and following a diet that prevents constipation. Recovery times vary depending on the approach and the patient's condition.
Hernia mesh repair offers a highly effective solution to hernias, ensuring a lower risk of recurrence and a faster recovery compared to traditional repair methods.
