Unfortunately, many hernia repair patients have been implanted with synthetic hernia repair meshes that have dangerous qualities that are not adequately disclosed to the patients or their doctors. Many of these meshes are composed of a substance that reacts adversely inside the body resulting in infection and failure to integrate into the tissue. The failure to integrate leads to the failure of the repair and the need for a revision surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n

In addition to the unsafe composition of these dangerous meshes, they are defective in their design and warnings. Many of the synthetic meshes will change their shape after being implanted in the body, or they will migrate, sometimes piercing or harming surrounding organs. As a result, hernia repair patients implanted with defective mesh may end up with a bowel obstruction requiring surgical repair or with painful adhesions requiring surgical removal.<\/span><\/p>\n

What is a Hernia Mesh?<\/h2>\n

Hernia repair surgeries are an everyday occurrence. There are a variety of techniques that surgeons can employ to repair a hernia. Those techniques include the use of sutures, the use of organic material (from the patient, from a cadaver or from an animal), and the use of synthetic meshes. There are over fifty different synthetic meshes that are used and they vary widely in their composition, manufacture and labeling.<\/span><\/p>\n
