Three Main Reasons Why Hernia Mesh Complications Is Severe

Hernia mesh is a surgical implant device which is very popularly used to provide extra support to the protruding damaged tissues, mainly in the intestinal or abdominal region. In the process, surgeons place the mesh across the area neighboring the hernia which helps to hold the defective tissue together and is chiefly done with stitches, staples or glue.
Unfortunately patients complained about the faulty design of these meshes. Infected hernia mesh can cause devastating complications and at times become challenging to cure the mesh infections with just antibiotics and often needs corrective surgery to cure the condition.

Hernia mesh complications may often be difficult to identify, depending on the severity of the issue.
  • Bowel Obstruction: It is the blockage that forms in the large or small intestine and causes difficulty with defecating or urinating. Typically, these obstructions are caused by an adhesion which can occur when scar-tissue or loops of the intestines attaches to the mesh and might need surgical intervention.
  • Bleeding and Infection: Chronic infections are obviously the most identifiable complications associated with failed mesh. For some patients, the infections may be severe leading to redness of skin and release of heat from the skin. There is an increased risk of seroma with a defective implant and can lead to secretions and eventually lead to infection.
  • Hernia Recurrence: One of the most commonly reported adverse report of the mesh complications is hernia recurrence. Mesh migration, adhesion, fistula and perforation are the several of complications associated with the mesh. A non-healing wound may develop and might need revision surgeries which offer longer recovery time.
 The attorneys fight to get their patients with the following compensation:
  • Expenses for emergency medication
  • Expenses for the ongoing and future medical bills
  • Expenses for wage loss and loss for earning capacity
  • Compensation for emotional distress
  • Expenses for the subsequent revision surgeries
