If you or a loved one had hernia repair surgery involving hernia mesh, hernia patch or hernia plug and suffered from hernia mesh complications or injuries, you may be entitled to recover compensation from a hernia mesh lawsuit or settlement.
A team of medical device injury lawyers and class action attorneys is investigating potential lawsuit cases and settlement claims of patients who claim to have suffered complications and injuries after having hernia surgery to repair a hernia involving hernia mesh, patch or plug.
A hernia is a condition that occurs when an organ, intestine or fatty tissue bulges out of or squeezes through a weak spot or hole in nearby muscles or connective tissue or fascia. Hernia repair surgery (one of the most common surgeries in the U.S.) typically involves the use of a surgical hernia mesh, hernia patch or hernia plug (typically constructed from synthetic materials or animal tissue) that is intended to help close the wound and allow the underlying tissue to heal.
More than a million hernia repairs are performed each year in the United States, oftentimes involving the use of hernia mesh. Unfortunately, however, according to the FDA, complications related to hernia repair with surgical mesh have been reported, including, for example, pain, infection, hernia recurrence, adhesion, bowel obstruction, mesh migration, perforation and mesh shrinkage (contraction).
