A member asked:
Do i need to know for future reference what kind of mesh used in ing. hernia repair? they told me it is called ethicon prolene mesh. is this enough.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: What's just as important is the technique. Ethicon makes more than one type of mesh for inguinal hernia repair. If you were to ever need repeat hernia repair (unlikely), it would be helpful to have the operative report for the surgeon to review. Sounds like you have enough info for everything else.
