What is surgical mesh, and is it safe?

Surgical mesh is a soft, flexible material used to strengthen the abdominal wall during hernia repair. It acts as a supportive layer, helping the tissue heal and reducing the risk of the hernia returning. At Welbeck, the highest-quality, medically approved mesh is used, and complications are very rare. Your surgeon will discuss whether mesh is suitable for you and answer any questions you may have before your operation.
