Is a Hernia Mesh a Toxic Substance in the Body?

Hernia meshes can be toxic to the body. It may be difficult to determine if the hernia mesh or the infection is the result of toxicity to your body, especially if you experience both conditions at the same time after a hernia mesh operation or procedure. The level of how a hernia mesh is toxic to your body will vary from person to person, and each situation is unique. The toxicity of your hernia mesh is measured by reviewing the cytotoxicity of hernia mesh and the incidence of infection after the hernia mesh is implanted into the body. Other problems with hernia mesh can develop into complications, when the hernia mesh surgery leads to an infection. If the hernia mesh surgical procedure was not completely sterile, there can be problems that will lead to an infection after the surgery. A hernia mesh infection can become so severe, that it may require removal of the mesh in an additional surgical procedure.

A hernia mesh surgical procedure to repair a hernia is a common operation to undergo. Even though the operation itself is super common, the fact of getting a hernia mesh implant can bring on a host of post-surgery complications. The main issue to getting an infection after a hernia mesh surgery, is that the wound around the hernia mesh can become severely infected. The infection can then make a wound that has a difficult time to heal itself. When you are referred back to a hospital with your hernia mesh wound, you will need to have your wound properly cleaned, to allow healing. Your wound will be cleaned if it is closed and it is considered “clean,” with no infection, and minimal drainage. If you have a wound that is generally clean but has some infection contamination, then you will need to have it cleaned to remove the infected tissue to allow healing to begin.

In the event that you experience the worst case scenario, where you have a contaminated wound, you will need to have the dirty or contaminated wound cleaned. In that case, you may also have a leaking of gastrointestinal content into the wound, or risk contact with other inflamed tissues or even organs. If this is the case, you may be referred to a surgeon to have your hernia mesh removed completely, with another surgical removal procedure. This can cost money, because of a readmission to the hospital, re-operation costs, recurrence of a hernia and a lowered quality of life from having to undergo a removal of the hernia mesh in an additional surgical procedure.
