However, by the early 2000s, patients began to experience a variety of complications and injuries from mesh implants, including:
- Allergic Reactions
- Infections
- Pain
- Bowel obstructions
- Migration, the implant moving from its original application
- Perforation of organs and tissues
- Adhesions, scar-like tissue that sticks together
- Sexual Side Effects and Impairment
These injuries can be painful, permanent, severe, life-threatening, can appear years after the surgery and can require additional surgeries. A 2016 study found 1,050 out of 3,242 patients had the device in place for five years or more before facing complications and requiring additional surgery.
Numerous manufacturers and mesh products are involved.
