Mesh Implantation

Mesh implantation is a medical procedure used to support weakened or damaged tissues, often during surgeries for conditions like hernias or pelvic organ prolapse. A mesh, typically made of synthetic materials, is placed inside the body to reinforce the area, helping to prevent further injury or complications. The body gradually heals around the mesh, creating a stronger structure. While generally safe, mesh implantation can have risks and complications, so it’s important for patients to discuss the benefits and potential issues with their healthcare provider before undergoing the procedure.
