When a mesh implant is folded or creased, it can cause problems such as pain, inflammation, or mesh migration. Folding can occur during the manufacturing process or during surgery if the mesh is not properly placed or secured. Risk factors for mesh folding include the type of mesh used, the surgical technique used to implant the mesh, and the patient's body position during surgery. Patients may experience symptoms such as pain, discomfort, and difficulty moving after the implantation of a folded mesh. If complications arise, surgical removal of the mesh may be necessary.
