AlloDerm and Hernia Recurrence

A hernia occurs when a hole develops in the lining of a body cavity and part of an organ from that area pushes through the hole. It can be extraordinarily painful and present itself as an unsightly lump. Hernias most commonly occur in the abdomen and the lower back. If you develop this problem, you may undergo a herniorrhaphy to sew the edges of the hole closed. On the other hand, a hernioplasty is another method of repair in which a mesh patch is placed over the hole and any weak tissue around it.

One type of mesh used in hernioplasty is AlloDerm. This acellular cadaveric dermal matrix is made of donated skin tissues, and it presents potentially painful complications. If you or someone you love has had an unsuccessful skin or hernia graft using AlloDerm, you need to speak with an experienced lawyer.

AlloDerm Hernia Repair Complications

When a skin graft is rejected, the resulting problems are no small matter. AlloDerm is no exception, and when this mesh fails in hernia repair, the complications can be deadly. Some of the problems that people can experience after a hernia repair surgery involving AlloDerm include:

• Pain and swelling
• Mesh tears
• Adhesion difficulty

Unfortunately, problems with tearing and loss of adhesion can lead to hernia reoccurrence. This problem can require additional surgery and recovery time, which can be financially difficult on you and your family.
