Hi.
Its always better to get hernia repair with mesh. Mesh is avoided in certain conditions where risk of infection is very high or surgeon feels in view of findings during surgery. What is the size of your hernia? Any associated complications?
These determine the mode of repair.
Please consider a detailed consultation with reports so that we can discuss well.
