Can Hernia Mesh Be Removed Safely?

Further, other complications associated with surgical procedures could include wound infection, hemorrhage, shock, pulmonary complications, and reactions to anesthesia. Speak with your surgeon for more about hernia mesh removal and possible complications.

Complications Associated With Hernia Mesh

Hernia mesh implants are used to prevent a recurrence of a hernia. They are designed to provide support to the muscles surrounding the affected area. If patients experience problems with hernia mesh, they may qualify to take legal action.

According to the FDA, possible complications and adverse events following hernia repair with mesh may include:

• Pain
