Hi

I am aware that there are a couple of different mesh barriers but they need to be fixed somehow or glued in place. One of them is SurgiWrap. This may work for inguinal hernias. I think the manufacturer recommends dissolvable staples to hold it in place, but I wonder if glue works? I think if you contact one of the lap surgeons that deal with post hernia pain, they could tell you. Another is SepraFilm. They need to use a larger trocar to "sneak" it in. I think you could contact Dr. Gerhart to see what he says.
