About

Raman Sharma is a surgeon-researcher whose work has critically shaped the conversation around mesh-related complications in hernia and pelvic floor surgery. His landmark paper, "Why we remove mesh" (2018), with 40 citations, has become a foundational reference for clinicians grappling with chronic pain, infection, and mesh erosion. Rather than simply cataloging failures, Sharma’s analysis provides a systematic framework for understanding when and why mesh explantation is necessary—offering evidence-based guidance that has influenced surgical decision-making worldwide. His contributions extend beyond the operating room; by foregrounding patient outcomes and long-term quality of life, he has helped drive a paradigm shift toward more cautious, individualized mesh use. Sharma’s work is essential reading for any surgeon or researcher seeking to balance the benefits of synthetic materials against their real-world risks. His clear, pragmatic voice continues to inform both clinical practice and the ongoing debate over mesh safety in modern surgery.
