Incisional hernia repair is one of the most commonly performed operations in the United States. In at least half of all cases, prosthetic mesh is used to reinforce weakened tissue in the abdominal wall.
Despite its widespread use, hernia mesh poses certain risks. For example, it can cause an infection, puncture an organ, or create an intestinal blockage.
To complicate matters, such issues can arise years after implantation. Regardless of how much time has passed since your procedure, though, it is wise to call a product liability lawyer right away if you are diagnosed with a hernia mesh complication.
