When an organ, intestine or fatty tissue squeezes through a weak spot or hole in muscle tissue, a hernia forms. Hernias can occur as a result of obesity, pregnancy, constipation or even weight lifting. Due to a high incidence of hernias re-opening, surgeons often opt to apply a mesh patch or mesh plug to stabilize muscles and tissues. While mesh patches and plugs are made of different materials (synthetic, permanent or absorbable), complications arise due to their recurrence rate or allergic reactions to fish oil contained in certain mesh coatings. Even so, this is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to hernia mesh related injuries.

With allegations stemming from reactions to infections and intestinal and skin injuries, patients need to know their options if they’ve been injured following a hernia mesh procedure.
