What is tension free mesh? I just had the Sugarbaker method used to repair my parastomal hernia. Are the two the same?

I had the Sugarbaker method done in April to fix my large parastomal hernia. I had never heard of the Tension Free surgery so I looked it up. It is not as successful as the Sugarbaker method. It has a higher reoccurrence rate. The Sugarbaker method was created just for parastomal hernia repairs. The other is for more general repairs and has a lower success rate. Hope this helps.
