Polypropylene mesh: evidence for lack of carcinogenicity.

Pamela Moalli1, Bryan Brown, Maureen T F Reitman, Charles W Nager.   

Abstract

Tumors related to the implantation of surgical grade polypropylene in humans have never been reported. In this commentary we present a balanced review of the information on what is known regarding the host response to polypropylene and provide data as to why the potential for carcinogenicity of polypropylene mesh is exceedingly small.
