Hernias occur when the intestines or other organs push from beneath the wall of muscle and fiber that typically contains them. To repair hernias over years and decades, surgeons have been using a loosely woven sheet of surgical mesh. However, in the recent years, many surgical mesh complications have been reported popping up questions about the safety of surgical mesh.
Complications of surgical mesh
While the main benefit of using mesh to repair a hernia is to strengthen a wider area around the opening to minimize the chance that of recurrence, the list of side effects and complications are multiple.
Some of the complications include:
- Pain
- Infection
- Hernia recurrence
- Scar-like tissue that sticks tissues together (adhesion)
- Blockage of the large or small intestine (obstruction)
- Bleeding
- Abnormal connection between organs, vessels or intestines (fistula)
- Fluid build-up at the surgical site (seroma)
- A hole in nearby tissues or organs (perforation)
These complications may result in further treatment and even reverse surgery in some cases. Not to mention the physical and mental trauma caused to the victim, the financial expenses are an extra burden.
These victims are eligible to claim for a settlement in terms of financial compensation. Hernia Mesh Lawsuit offers legal help regarding the same resulting in successful settlement of cases. Contact them on http://herniameshlawsuit.me/ or at (855) 631-2237 for a free evaluation.
