Placement of a piece of surgical mesh to reinforce the abdominal wall during an open repair of a hernia at or near a previous incision, or to help close the wound after tissue has been cut away for a severe soft-tissue infection. The mesh acts as a patch that the body's own tissue grows into. It is done in addition to the main repair and is charged separately.
