Hernia Mesh Problems
The Kugel patch used in hernia repair was originally recalled in December 2005. Kugel 
mesh complications such as bowel perforations can be caused by the “memory coil ring” that open the Kugel mesh patch if it breaks under the stress of placement. If the ring breaks causing a hernia repair mesh failure the resulting injuries can be serious and sometimes permanent. The main problem is that the Kugel mesh is placed near internal organs and if the recoil ring breaks an exposed sharp edge can lead to bowel perforations or chronic intestinal fistulae.
Many people who have experienced a hernia mesh failure have been forced to undergo an additional surgery and endured severe pain from the complications caused by the Kugel repair mesh failure. In addition, patients are often left with the burden of unpaid medical bills and money lost from missing work due to the surgery and recovery time.
According to the Kugel Mesh manufacturer Davol’s March 24, 2006 “Dear Chief of Surgery” letter a total of 31 ring breaks were reported to them. Of the 31 ring breaks reported, 20 involved patient injury, including:
· 11 cases where the broken ring migrated into or through the patient’s abdominal wall, with associated infection in 2 cases;
· 1 case where the ring reportedly migrated into the vagina;
· 7 cases of bowel perforation reported in association with a broken ring;
· 1 case of bowel obstruction, which was repaired without removal of the mesh (causality to the broken ring has not been clearly established in this case);
· 1 reported death where the patient reportedly developed septic shock, consumptive coagulopathy and acute myocardial infarction after surgery to repair small and large bowel fistulas reportedly caused by perforation by the broken ring.
