Complications and failures of the hernia mesh patch have been known for many years now by the manufacturers and have gone underreported to the FDA. Side effects of the hernia patch include bowel obstruction, constipation, and fistula. Use of the Composix Kugel Mesh Patches have also included reports of the memory recoil ring breaking with signs such as the patch shriveling, the edges curling upwards, and a buckled mesh. The mesh has been described as wrinkled, crumpled, rolled up, and folded by those affected.

Breakage of the memory recoil ring that holds the Kugel Mesh patch in place causes the serious side effects of the medical device. Symptoms of ring breakage include:

• Abdominal pain or fever
• Tenderness at the implant site
• Persistent stomach pain
