Hi Marvin, and thanks for reaching out. My own practice is to use mesh only on very rare occasions for hiatal hernia repairs. If I do feel that it is necessary, by rule, I will only use a mesh that will absorb and go away. Although there are many excellent surgeons who will routinely use a mesh for these types of repairs, my preference is to stay away from it if possible. Thanks again for your question!
Mr. Wright Sorry,I do not know the answer to that. Try calling the office, someone should be able to tell you.
Thanks! Your answer is awaiting moderation.
