Hello doctor! May I ask, after surgery for inguinal hernia and placing a mesh, will the mesh be lost later and will the abdominal wall muscle recover? Ask your doctor for advice and answers. Thank you sincerely!

Hello! Surgical treatment of inguinal hernia places the mesh and posterior wall of the inguinal canal (abdominal wall) to create stability in the treatment of direct inguinal hernia. That mesh is essentially Polypropylene, after a while it will be tolerated in the body to create a layer of balance to prevent inguinal hernia.
Through the above answer, you can understand that after the inguinal hernia surgery and the placement of the mesh, will the mesh be lost later? If you need more in-depth consultation, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for specialist doctors to give you specific advice and answers. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wishing you good health always. Best regards!
