If you or a loved one had Hernia mesh revision surgery to remove hernia mesh or to correct, repair or fix hernia mesh injuries or complications, you may be entitled to recover compensation from a hernia mesh revision surgery lawsuit or settlement.
A team of medical device injury lawyers is investigating potential lawsuit cases and settlement claims of patients who have had, or will have to have, hernia mesh revision surgery (or multiple revision surgeries) to remove, repair or replace hernia mesh and/or to correct or fix hernia mesh complications and injuries.
Hernia mesh revision surgery is surgery to remove or replace a failed hernia mesh implant of a prior hernia repair surgery and/or to revise or correct damage caused by injuries or complications caused by the hernia mesh. For instance, revision surgery can be required if the hernia mesh implant moved out of place, punctured or adhered to other organs or tissues, caused infections, was rejected by the body, or caused other injuries or complications. Hernia mesh revision surgery may also be required where the hernia came back after an initial hernia repair surgery.
Hernia Mesh Revision Surgery Lawsuit Cases
Hernia mesh revision lawsuit and settlement cases potentially being investigated include claims of patients who were, or will be, required to undergo corrective surgery or re-operations due to complications from the hernia mesh, including, among others, the following:
- Chronic abdominal pain
- Hernia recurrence
- Mesh erosion
- Mesh protrusion
- Mesh migration
- Rejection of hernia mesh
- Deformation of hernia mesh
- Herniation through mesh
- Adhesion of mesh to internal organs
- Punctures or injury to nearby organs
- Bowel perforations
- Infection
- Fistula formation
- Inflammation, swelling or redness
- Improper wound healing
- Granulomatous response
- Intestinal blockage
- Nerve or tissue damage
- Abscess
- Ulcers
- Bleeding
- Seromas (build up of fluid)
- Death
- Other hernia mesh injuries or complications
Hernia mesh revision surgery can be more complicated than an initial hernia repair surgery since the mesh implant may need to be removed and other repairs may be needed. The need for surgery to correct a failed hernia implant can depend on several factors such as severity of pain, presence of infection, condition of the hernia mesh, whether the hernia came back, and whether organs where injured, for example.
