How does someone find out if they had the kugel mesh inplanted in their hernia?

Question

I had hernia surgery about two years ago and my husband had his last year. How do we find out if we had the kugel mesh inplanted in our hernias which has been recalled?

Answer 1

First, call your surgeon. If you do not get a satisfactory response, contact the medical records department at the hospital where the surgery was performed. The information you seek should be on the operative report. You may need to sign some papers. You should not need an attorney for this.
