Strangulated Hernias
Hernias are a medical condition which occurs when an internal organ, usually in the abdominal cavity, protrudes through the wall of the cavity containing it. One of the most dangerous types of hernias occurs when the herniated organ has its blood supply cut off, known as a strangulated hernia. In this situation, surgical intervention is necessary to prevent further complications. Unfortunately, one of the most common surgical hernia repair procedures involves the use of mesh patches, which have been associated with a number of complications.
