Why Do Hernia Mesh Products Bulge and Stretch Following a Hernia Repair Surgical Procedure?
The fact that a hernia mesh product stretches after implantation into the body is not the problem, following a hernia repair surgery. Many hernia mesh products are meant to stretch and allow a stretchable mesh in the body, in order to cover the herniated area needing repairs in the body. The strength of the hernia mesh will depend on the type of filament that is used to make the mesh. Hernia meshes can be made from many different types of products, including:1
- Multi-filament
- Mono-filament
- Woven
- Knitted
- Polymer
- Large pores
- Small pores
The woven meshes can allow more stretchable materials in the hernia mesh product, which offers stretchability once the mesh is implanted to repair the hernia. It is important to remember that the hernia mesh can be a factor related to the internal structure of the person’s body. This means that the hernia mesh being used to repair the hernia needs to be cut with precision, to avoid any overlapping onto nearby organs, to prevent organ adhesion. Everything usually works out well during this surgical procedure, except when the hernia mesh product fails or has a defect. In that case, there may be complications and issues related to the defective hernia mesh.
Defective Hernia Meshes Cause Serious Complications Following a Standard or “Normal” Hernia Repair Surgery
If you are unlucky enough to have had a defective hernia mesh product implanted for your hernia mesh surgery, then you understand the pain and suffering related to this type of personal injury. A hernia mesh that is supposed to be stretchy cannot be too stretchy or overly stretchy, which will cause serious problems following the surgery. Usually, these surgeries go along just fine, but there will be major complications when the hernia mesh product breaks down or is defective. If the mesh is defective, it can easily become dislocated in the body, causing mayhem and serious medical complications to follow.
