Use of mesh in operations

I had an abdominal repair done with mesh 9 years ago 20cm x 8cm held in place by 42 staples
No problems at all .

Like Fennel I had a hernia repaired using mesh, but I believe the NICE protocol now is that for prolapse and similar gynaecological repairs, mesh should no longer used.

There's a lot of debate about this, various brands of mesh.
I had an abdominal hernia repair recently when the surgeon used mesh, but this didn't have much to support. Thank God all is well up to now.
But the use of mesh to support lower organs is another matter and there are a few doubts from what I've read.
It's a complex medical matter. My mind also tells me that it must depend on how the mesh is attached, but what do I know?
I can still feel the ridge where mine is attached on one side.
