In a method, an implantable mechanical support is provided. The mechanical support includes a section of mesh having a longitudinal axis and a radiopaque mark covering a subsection of the section of mesh. The mechanical support is implanted adjacent a target side of a patient. In some aspects of the method, a procedure is performed subsequent to the implantation of the mechanical support in the patient. In accordance with one aspect of the method, an incision is made in the patient, a distal end of an electrode lead is fed through the incision toward the implanted mechanical support. The radiopaque mark is located on the mesh using a radiological image. The distal end of the electrode lead is attached to the section of mesh proximate to the mark.
