Inguinal hernia mesh is it safe?

Yes: Many surgical reports for many years have documented hernia mesh safety & several reports indicate better long term hernia repair results with the use of mesh.

Yes: Fixing inguinal hernias with mesh has become the standard of care. It reduces the risk of hernia repair failure significantly and reduces the post operative pain as compared to traditional tissue only repairs.
