A member asked:
How likely is it that my hernia was repaired using that mesh patch?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very likely: Unless it was done before 1990's or it was a small umbilical hernia then most likely you have a mesh implanted. If you had an inguinal hernia repaired then it is almost 100% mesh repair. Kids are almost never repaired with mesh.
