Hernia Mesh Usage Statistics Demonstrate Potential Dangers
Hernia mesh is a medical device used to repair damaged connective tissue around the hernia. It is implanted during surgery and attached with sutures.
The pores in the mesh allow the damaged tissue to grow into the device, which supports the primary repair of muscle tissue.
However, many side effects are associated with surgical mesh, including infection, erosion through the skin or organ walls, and pain.
