Why Are There So Many Complications for a Surgical Repair of a Hernia?
Many people who have the common procedure to repair a hernia can have serious problems weeks to months after the surgery. For instance, there can be many other complications that can arise after a hernia mesh implantation. Depending on the type of hernia mesh that is chosen, the hernia mesh itself can be defective, damaged or failing in some way after the surgical implantation. Many surgical procedures to repair an elective midline laparotomy use prophylactic meshes, but there are other types of hernia meshes available for every different type of hernia repair procedure. As some of the best Los Angeles hernia mesh lawyers, we know this time can be confusing and overwhelming for you but that all ends and your recovery begins when you hire Walch Law.

For example, during the hernia repair surgery, an incisional hernia can have complications within the abdominal wall incision. Studies show that nearly 13% of patients two years post-surgery with a midline incision will need a surgical repair.1 Additionally, there are issues with a recurrence of the incisional hernia for the same patient over time, which can go as high as 50% with more complications following each failed repair surgery.
