Hernia mesh infection: should surgeons remove all or part of the mesh?
NCT ID NCT07491250
First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study looks back at 100 patients who had surgery for a mesh infection after hernia repair. It compares two approaches: removing the entire mesh versus removing only the infected part. The goal is to see which method leads to fewer hernia recurrences and fewer repeat infections. The findings could help guide future surgical decisions.
