How safe is a mesh when used for an inguinal hernia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
This procedure is: done quite often by general surgeons. it is best to discuss the risks and benefits of any procedure with the surgeon doing the procedure. typically any time there is a foreign element introduced in the body it does have the risk to become infected.
