Three Major Hernia Mesh Complications

A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue breaks from the thin or weak muscle near the abdominal wall and causes the part of the tissue to protrude through the soft spot. Hernia mesh surgery is a much popular surgical procedure in the U.S. and millions of mesh repair surgery takes place every year. These meshes are a woven patch of flexible, synthetic material that is used to cure a wide variety of hernias but most commonly the abdominal ones.

Unfortunately, these devices have been associated with plenty of complications.



Some of the most commonly reported hernia mesh complications are:

•    Recurrence

Of the many commonly reported mesh complications is the chance of hernia recurrence. Thousand of unfavorable reports submitted to the FDA highlight how improper surgical techniques led to the complexities of hernia relapse. Shrinkage and migration of defective mesh products is also accountable for causing similar consequences.

•    Infection


One of the most severe side effects of defective mesh implant is the scope of yeast infection, and if they are left untreated for a long time, it is not possible to cure them even with the highest possible dosage of antibiotics. As any human body has its own capacity to accept and reject any foreign, these hernia meshes can often be not compatible with the body. Some patients might be allergic to the material used in the making of these devices.

•    Bowel Obstruction

Pain occurs when there is blockage developing in the large or small intestine and when it causes difficulty with defecating and even urinating. Often, these obstructions may result from an adhesion which can take place when scar-tissue or loops of the intestines sticks to the broken mesh. If conditions become severe, it will need corrective procedure of the bowel through surgical procedure.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) have got plenty of poor health reports that are linked to hernia mesh complications. It prompted them to initiate device recalls for the mesh manufacturers marketing and branding these defective devices.
