Surgeon's Preference: Provided that mesh is used, there is no convincing data that favors using one brand of mesh over another for inguinal hernia repair. To be honest, if a patient came to me requesting that I use a certain mesh, i would (politely) decline.

Hernia mesh product: Hernia surgery is one of the most common general surgical procedures performed in today's world. It can be performed in an open or a laparoscopic fashion, with mesh, or with suture. And, currently, there are over 20 different mesh products on the market that come in a variety of shapes, sizes, materials. It is often a game time decision as to which product the surgeon choices. All are good.
