If you or a loved one suffered injuries due to a Hernia Mesh implant, you may be entitled to compensation.
There are over 100,000 hernia meshes implanted every year in the United States. Many of the most dangerous hernia mesh implants remain on the market and have not been recalled.
Injury risks and side effects to patients following implantation of a hernia mesh medical device may include:
Infection– An internal infection at the site surrounding the hernia mesh device may develop requiring medical treatment and oftentimes requiring surgery to remove the mesh.
Migration – The hernia mesh device may detach from the surgical site and migrate through the abdomen creating a potential dangerous risk of coming into contact with and connecting to internal organs, vessels, or intestines which may result in conditions such as bowel obstruction, abscesses or perforation.
Organ Perforation – The hernia mesh device may perforate or tear the bowel, abdominal wall, or another abdominal organ. Bowel perforation has been cited by the FDA as one of two of the most common injuries of recalled hernia mesh devices.
Bowel Obstruction – This may occur when a hernia mesh device blocks a portion of the intestines due to adhesion and/or migration from the original implantation site. Bowel obstruction has been cited by the FDA as one of two of the most common injuries of recalled hernia mesh devices.
Erosion – An implanted hernia mesh device may deteriorate in an untimely manner allowing for the recurrence of the hernia and the need for additional surgery.
