Surgical mesh

Surgical mesh is a medical device made from synthetic material or animal tissue, used to support weakened or damaged tissues in the body. Commonly employed in procedures like hernia repairs, it helps provide strength to the area and promotes healing. The mesh acts like a net, reinforcing the tissue to prevent recurrence of conditions like hernias or pelvic organ prolapse. While many patients benefit from its use, some have experienced complications, leading to ongoing discussions about safety and regulation. Overall, surgical mesh is designed to improve surgical outcomes and enhance recovery.
