The invite study: incisional hernia prevention: prophylactic mesh from the patient’s perspective
Despite negative pre-conceptions, mesh prophylaxis is broadly acceptable to patients. The results of this work will be used to develop patient resources to support mesh prophylaxis. Future mixed-methods studies identifying the surgeons' barriers to use of mesh are needed to allow targeted implementation of prophylactic mesh.
