Harmful Hernia Mesh Complications Linked With Multiple Mesh Devices
Harmful hernia mesh complications have been linked with multiple mesh devices. These complications most likely happen years after the hernia surgery. Making it difficult for patients to narrow down the cause. Here are some of the most common injuries:
- Encapsulated seroma when plasma leaks into the cells surrounding the repair
- Adhesions and scarring
- Fistula- abnormal tube-like passage that connects organs, tissues, or vessels that do not normally connect
- Non-healing wound
- Intestinal obstruction- blockage in the intestinal pathway
- Infection
- Recurrent hernia
- Migration of the Mesh- mesh may move from the surgical site
- Contraction (shrinkage) of the mesh
