Does Modifying Hernia Mesh Design Improve Performance and Lower Risk of Failure for Hernia Repair?
It may be difficult to determine if the modification of a hernia mesh product design will improve the performance of or lower the risk of failure for a hernia repair. The answer to this question is that there is no definite answer. The reason there are few answers in this way of thinking, is because there will be many factors at play to determining whether a hernia mesh fails or not fails once implanted in the human body.

Your recovery from a hernia repair surgery depends on many factors, such as whether the product has a defect, has been recalled by the manufacturer in the past as being defective or damaged, or whether your body rejected the hernia mesh product for some reason. Even if twins had the same hernia repair surgery, they will have different results in terms of the body recovering from the surgery.

What Different Types of Hernia Mesh Products Are on the Market?
There are many different types of hernia mesh products that are available on the market today. Some of these products are made with different materials, including:2

If your body has an allergic reaction to your implanted hernia mesh product, it may trigger an acute inflammatory cellular response, which may be a complication that can deter healing after your surgery.1 It is possible that the condition of oxidative degradation of the implanted mesh can occur, and it may cause several problems within your body that can prolong healing.
The Problems After a Hernia Surgery Can Include Incisional Hernia Formations
After a hernia surgery, you can also develop an incisional hernia formation. This is when there is an incisional hernia that will form after the hernia repair surgery. It can occur most frequently when your hernia was repaired with a laparotomy. Unfortunately, the incidence of incisional hernia formation can be up to 41%, and it forms after the laparotomy procedure.
