I had my hernia repaired during operation when further surgery was necessary, & they put mesh in.

I have had mesh inserted to hold up my diaphragm after half of it had to be cut out due to tumour.That was in 2011 and no problems as yet.I also have a friend who had mesh after a hernia and it has been very successful so good luck.
