Hernia repair meshes are generally similar to the material used to make mosquito nets. However, hernia meshes are highly developed materials engineered specifically for use as sterile medical devices used for abdominal wall reinforcement. Due to ongoing advances in technology, hernia meshes are an intense area of ongoing research and development and therefore require proper selection by a surgeon with specialty training in hernia repair materials. The hernia specialists at Advanced Surgical & Bariatrics of NJ can meet with you for consultation and provide you with more information on which mesh is best for you and why.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Repairing recurrent hernias (those that have occurred after previous repair) are exceedingly complex difficult cases, and the chance for definitive (lasting repair) goes down with each subsequent operation. Your first hernia surgery therefore represents your best chance at achieving a lasting repair, so you will need to reduce as many personal risk factors for recurrence as much as possible before your first operation and maintain a healthy weight and lifestyle afterwards.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
