Defective Hernia Mesh, Adhesions And Repair Surgery

When you learn you have a hernia and your doctor recommends reparative surgery with hernia mesh, you will probably be a little anxious prior to the procedure. Even once the surgery is completed, you may feel on edge for the next few days or weeks as you recover.

But once you return to your doctor for a successful check up, you can exhale and relax, right? Not always, unfortunately. Many complications from defective hernia mesh, such as adhesions, can take weeks, months or even years to become apparent.

In this blog post I explain how adhesions can form from defective hernia mesh, the problems these cause, and why reparative surgery may be necessary, but not necessarily successful.
