If you or a loved one were injured after having hernia surgery that involved hernia mesh, you may be entitled to recover compensation from a hernia repair 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 had hernia surgery that involved hernia mesh and claim to have suffered injuries and complications from the hernia mesh that was implanted during the hernia repair surgery, including corrective or revision surgery to remove, replace and/or repair the hernia mesh.
Types of Hernia Surgery Lawsuit Cases
Hernia surgery lawsuit and settlement cases potentially being investigated include claims of patients who suffered serious hernia mesh complications, problems, injuries, side-effects after having surgery to repair a hernia, including, among others:
- Ventral hernia repair
- Incisional hernia repair
- Inguinal hernia repair
- Femoral hernia repair
- Umbilical hernia repair
- Hiatal hernia repair
Hernia surgery can involve repairing a ventral hernia (abdominal or ventral wall), incisional hernia (protusion of tissue forming at the the site of a healing surgical scar in the abdomen from a prior abdominal surgery), inguinal hernia (intestine or bladder protrudes through inner groin or abdominal wall), femoral hernia (the intestine enters the canal carrying the femoral artery into the upper thigh), umbilical hernia (small intestine passes through the abdominal wall near the navel or belly button), and/or a hiatal hernia (upper stomach squeezes through the hiatus or opening in the diaphragm).
Hernia surgery can be laparoscopic (where several small incisions are made in the abdomen to allow surgical tools into the openings to repair the hernia) or an open repair (where an incision is made near the hernia and the weak muscle area is repaired.
Both types of hernia repair surgeries can be performed with or without surgical mesh (a type of medical device that is used to provide additional support to weakened or damaged tissue). Surgical mesh is often used in order to strengthen the hernia repair and to reduce the rate of hernia recurrence.
If you or someone you love had surgery to repair a hernia and were injured from hernia mesh that was implanted, you may be entitled to compensation from a hernia repair lawsuit or settlement. Contact a medical device injury lawyer to request a free case review.
