Does hernia mesh dissolve over time?

The treatment available for a hernia is hernia repair surgery. In a hernia repair surgery, the surgeon will push the herniated abdominal contents back into its original place and reinforce the weakened portion of the abdominal wall with a hernia mesh. The two different types of meshes are temporary mesh and permanent mesh. 

A temporary mesh can dissolve and break down over a period of time within the body and amalgamate with the body tissues. However, permanent meshes stay in the body until life. These days almost all the mesh used for hernia repair is a permanent mesh. There are various types and brands of permanent meshes. The choice of mesh differs from patient to patient based on the type and gravity of the herniation. Whatever may be the case, the type of hernia mesh to be used is decided by the surgeon after considering factors like age, current medical condition, the diagnostic status of hernia, etc.
