Does Coated Hernia Mesh Benefit the Los Angeles Hernia Mesh Surgical Patient?
Hernia Mesh Products That Are Coated Can Actually Harm a Hernia Mesh Patient
A hernia mesh that has a coating on the mesh may not benefit the patient of a hernia mesh surgery. For this reason, the coating on a hernia mesh can form postoperative wound infections, and the higher need for antibiotics by pushing it into the veins with an intravenous solution, to ward off complications after a hernia repair surgery.1 Even if the surgeon who performs your hernia repair surgery uses a coated hernia mesh product, you may still experience issues with your recovery following the surgery. This is because some hernia mesh products are defective right from the start, and your surgery will have issues with the hernia mesh as a matter of course.
What Does the Medical Literature Say About Coated Hernia Mesh Materials?
Overall, coated mesh materials are supposed to be better for helping the body to repair and heal itself after a hernia repair surgery. In the case of a hiatal hernia repair surgery, a coated hernia mesh is preferred over a biological mesh without a coating, because there can be complications with the hernia mesh. These complications can lead to serious problems, including:2
- Hernia recurrence
- Encapsulation
- Inflammation
