For those who may be interested, there will a conference in Ft. Lauderdale Florida for all who have been having complications, from surgical synthetic mesh. Here is the link for the website which has all of the information That you will need,http://truthinmedicine.us.com/ this website is also established in the UK we are not the only ones suffering from all of these complications, they have also reached across the pond that website is truthinmedicine.uk.com. It is a not for profit advocacy group that has been helping very many people. The founder is very informative on all the isssues surrounding mesh. The conference will include many well known doctors, that will speak about the non use of mesh. Please feel free to check it out. I found it very informative.

I think many innovations in mesh are the result of mesh folding up, retracting, coming lose, and so we have new mesh products like Rebound HRD which you can google. Goodyear and the Hernia MD will not talk about this.

The main problem with synthetic mesh is the fact that many surgeons continue to use "heavyweight" mesh and "heavyweight" plugs. Mesh needs to be compliant and NOT stiff. The rebound mesh is not lightweight and it is stiff. There are much better products out there such as the UltraPro Hernia System.

Please get your facts straight, Hernia MD. Rebound HRD uses a lightweight mesh and is not stiff.
