Hernia Mesh Claims

A hernia mesh lawsuit is a legal claim against the mesh manufacturer by a patient who has been implanted with faulty mesh device and suffered serious complications and injuries post the surgery. The lawsuits allege that the mesh devices were imperfectly designed and that the mesh makers failed adequately to warn patients of known and foreseeable health risks and side effects. Why are people suing? Using surgical mesh to repair a hernia isn’t a new concept. While the materials might change, the surgery is one of the most popular ways to cure the condition of hernia. Due to unjustly dangerous and defective designs used in several different surgical mesh products, victims are filing abdominal hernia mesh lawsuit to claim financial compensation. Individuals have suffered from complications such as: •    Severe abdominal pain •    Organ perforation, adhesions or erosion •    Infections or allergic reactions •    Surgical removal of hernia mesh Some of the lawsuit allegations

Usually, a hernia occurs when an intestine or organ in the pelvic region try to bulge through the weakened portion of the surrounding muscles, mostly the abdominal wall. In multiple cases, the hernia might pop out when the patient puts extra pressure on the abdomen. Inguinal, femoral, and incisional hernia are among the most common types of condition. In the last few decades, the laparoscopic hernia mesh procedure involving a net-like mesh implant has gained momentum over the open repair surgery. However, multiple reports have surfaced in recent times regarding severe side effects after the surgery. How is the procedure done? During the operation, the doctor reinforces the mesh implant into the weakened muscles of the abdomen. Theoretically, the mesh implant is supposed to prevent hernia recurrences, and provide the patients with lasting relief. However, reports relating to severe complications associated with the mesh implant have surfaced in the recent past.
