Mesh Implant Complications

Mesh implant complications occur when a surgical mesh used to support organs, typically in pelvic or hernia repairs, causes problems. Possible issues include pain, infection, or discomfort from the mesh moving or eroding into nearby tissues. Some may experience urinary or bowel problems, rejection, or mesh shrinkage. In rare cases, more serious complications like nerve or organ damage can occur. These issues can sometimes require additional surgery to remove or repair the mesh. It’s important to monitor symptoms after implantation and consult a healthcare provider if any problems arise.
