Graft Explantation Dangers
Individuals who have suffered from hernias, gone through breast reconstruction, or had other procedures that require skin grafts may be familiar with the dangers of AlloDerm. This product was developed as an alternative to traditional skin grafts, but in recent years, it has led to severe complications for patients. Often, these patches must be removed before further negative side effects occur, in a process known as graft explantation.
If you or someone you love has been a victim of an AlloDerm complication, you may be eligible for financial compensation for your suffering. Contact the AlloDerm attorneys of Williams Kherkher at 800-761-3187 to discuss your case with a knowledgeable member of our legal team today.
Consequences of Graft Explantation
There are multiple reasons why a medical professional may choose to remove the graft from its new host, but the patient will likely experience a complicated recovery process from this procedure. Some of the dangers of explantation include:
- Reopening of the original wound
- Need for more surgeries to re-address the initial injury
- Infection
- Loss of tissue
- Damage to affected area
Graft explantation may cause physical pain and emotional trauma, and it is an expensive procedure that may be a financial burden for those in need of the operation.
