Patient's question:
I have a classmate who had a hernia surgery with a mesh implant last month. Then I heard from others that this surgery might cause a recurring rejection phenomenon after a period of time. Moreover, apart from potentially being quite severe, how long does the rejection usually last?Doctor's answer:
After the implementation of a hernia surgery patch, to some extent, if the body itself doesn't have any serious issues or a special allergic constitution, it will never repeatedly experience many adverse reactions. This is because the material of the surgical patch is quite special, and once placed in the body, it is never removed. Therefore, it has a high degree of compatibility with the body, and generally, it will not repeatedly cause adverse reactions.
