Abstract

Hernia repair surgery using synthetic mesh is the standard of care in modern surgery. Complications from uro-gynaecological mesh have been reported in the New Zealand media and there is public concern regarding the use of any mesh for any reason. This study reports long-term outcomes in inguinal hernia surgery in a large cohort of elective operations using mesh.
