4. Why is Hernia Mesh Used? Hernias occur when there is weakness in the stomach wall which allows tissue or part of the intestine to poke through the weak area. Along with abdominal or umbilical hernias, there are many other types which surgeons can repair by either stitching them to enclose the bowel or tissue or they can use mesh to cover the hole and strengthen the area where the weakness was located. Hernia mesh implants can be used on these types of hernias: • Abdominal – which is located along the walls of the abdomen. • Incisional – which are hernias at the site of a previous injury or surgery. • Inguinal – which is in the groin area. • Umbilical – these usually occur around the belly button, so they are easy to see. • Hiatal – which is an abdominal hernia in the upper part of the stomach • Femoral – located at the upper thigh, around the outer groin or labia, making them more common in women. Inguinal hernias are the most common type of hernias and incisional hernias are the second most common type. Unfortunately, due to fast-tracking hernia mesh products, many of them have failed due to design defects, leading to serious complications.

Some of the more common complications linked to hernia mesh implants are: • Infections • Abdominal Pain • Hernia Recurrence • Adhesions involving organs or scar tissue. • Bowel Obstructions • Perforations of tissue or organs. • Fluid Build-Up, also called Seroma • Auto-Immune Disorders • Meshoma Many hernia complications are the result of surgeons implanting the mesh after a laparoscopic hernia repair surgery. The laparoscopic procedure increases the risk of the hernia mesh touching other organs, which could cause them to adhere to those organs and cause multiple complications. Some of the manufacturers have taken their hernia mesh implants off the market, including Ethicon, who made the Physiomesh hernia mesh implant.
