Hernia mesh implants jeopardize the patient's health

A hernia is a condition where the fatty tissues, organ, or parts of the intestine pushes through a weak spot in the lower abdomen region or the pelvic area. In certain cases, the herniated organs might not be visible as an external swelling – especially while bending down or doing an exercise.

The hernia mesh procedure involving a surgical implant is usually used to fix the hole and push back the organs into their position. These repairs are normally used to fix inguinal hernias in babies, strangulated or infected hernias, or small hernias. However, several patients have reported hernia recurrences and other complications after being fitted with the implant.

Some of the common complexities associated with these products include:

• Chronic Pain
• Development of adhesion
• Bowel obstruction and perforation
• Recurrent infection
• Mesh rejection or migration
• Hernia recurrence

According to numerous reports filed to the FDA regarding the effectiveness of the hernia meshes, the victim had to undergo additional operations to get back to health. The victims have filed numerous lawsuits in the pasts against pharmaceutical giants like Ethicon or Atrium Medicals for hiding the inherent design flaws in their product.

Three Important Reasons Why Hernia Mesh Fails

One of the most sold medical implant – the hernia mesh – has been responsible for causing numerous complications to several patients. Many pharmaceuticals (including Ethicon and Atrium Medical Corporation) manufacturing these implants has been sued for their faulty devices. Most of the time, the patient suffering from the side-effects of these devices have to lead a very difficult and painful life.

According to a medical journal, the victims of these hernia implants suffer from(this is not an exhaustive list),

• Mesh Adhesion

• Mesh migration

• Frequent Infections or Seromas

• Abdominal pain

• Hernia recurrence

• Organ rupture

These complications can make the life of the patient very difficult. The side-effects make it difficult for them to lead a normal life and carry on with their personal and professional commitments. 

  

Why does hernia implant or mesh fail? 

According to several lawsuits, the mesh implants fail mostly due to three reasons:

1. Defective design

Several medical journals have pointed out that several of these implants have an inherent design flaw making it unsuitable for human use. The polypropylene used to manufacture the implant is known to oxidize and prone to breakage. Meshes made from this material are always at a risk of breaking down inside the patient’s body and migrating to some other portions of the body.        

2. Manufacturing issue

Poor construction or unhygienic production facilities makes the hernia mesh dangerous for the patient. Just in the case of Atrium Medical Corporation's C-Qur Hernia implant, the FDA found that the device was being produced in an unsanitary facility. Implants produced in these factories could cause severe infection to the patients.    

3. Medical malpractice    

Hernia implant, when fitted incorrectly, can cause severe side-effects to the victims. In such circumstances, the mesh fails due to the negligence of the medical team – especially the doctor.
