Hernia Mesh Lawsuits
Hernia Mesh Lawsuits
Have you or a loved one had a Hernia Mesh implanted specifically for hernia repair and had serious complications?
Hernia repair surgeries are one of the most common surgeries performed in the United States. Recent studies have found higher rates of hernias re-opening when a Hernia Mesh has been implanted.
Damages caused by hernia meshes can be characterized by:
Return of the hernia
Bowel obstruction
Mesh shrinkage/Mesh migration
Neurological changes
Abdominal pain
Liver abnormalities
Infection
Abnormal sweating
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Every year in the United States, 100,000 hernia meshes are implanted. While the meshes are meant to prevent the hernia from returning, they can also prove to be harmful, no matter what brand of mesh is used. The problem with this is that more than 90 percent of hernia-related surgeries used a mesh, and many patients who received this implant have reported severe injuries, with some cases resulting in death.
