1. A method for attaching mesh to tissue comprising:

  • forming a mixture comprising a first reactive precursor comprising a multi-arm polyether possessing electrophilic groups, a second reactive precursor comprising nucleophilic groups, and at least one initiated precursor comprising at least one vinyl group;

    contacting a mesh with a tissue comprising a surface;

    injecting the mixture through the mesh and into the tissue;

    allowing the mixture to form a first hydrogel both underneath and on the tissue surface in contact with the mesh; and
