mesh-related complications

Mesh-related complications refer to problems that can occur when surgical mesh, used to reinforce tissues like the abdomen or pelvis, causes issues post-surgery. These complications may include pain, infection, inflammation, mesh movement or shrinking, and nerve or tissue damage. In some cases, the mesh might not integrate well or could erode into nearby organs, leading to discomfort or additional surgeries. While many patients heal without problems, understanding these potential risks helps in making informed decisions and prompt management if issues arise.
