My husband is involved in the study off a dissolvable mesh for his hernias. The mesh is to dissolve over a 2 years time frame however my husband has developed another hernia that s located partially in the mesh and part of it is above the mesh. My husband does have a strenuous job with continuous walking climbing numerous stair lifing heavy tank car lids but he is also an alcoholic excessive drinker and i was wondering if the alcohol plus smoking plays apart in him getting hernias frequently?
