Complications That Matter in Hernia Mesh Claims

With more than 80,000 repairs performed every year, Hernia mesh surgery is a much popular surgical procedure in the U.S.

A hernia occurs when an organ or tissue breaks from the damaged, thin or weak muscle near the abdominal wall and causes the part to protrude through the soft spot. These meshes are a woven patch of flexible, synthetic material that is used to repair a wide variety of hernias.

However, these devices have been linked with severe health complications. Let's see some of the most common hernia mesh complications reported by the patients that even led to the filing of lawsuits against the manufacturing companies. All the following complications are considered as a valid point by the hernia mesh attornies to fight for the claims.

•    Infection - severe yeast infection is very common with some patients whose body cannot take the mesh as a foreign material

•    Recurrence - Of the many commonly reported complications, hernia recurrence is a serious concern. Thousand of adverse reports submitted to the FDA speak about how improper surgical techniques leading to hernia relapse. It also gives rise to complexities such as shrinkage and migration of the meshes.

•    Skin and intestinal complications - During mesh erosion, the debris can cause leakage of the bowel content through perforation. This, if not treated timely can cause serious skin infections.

•    Nerve damage - Defective mesh products migrate to different parts of the neighboring implant region causing nerve damage and other serious complications. Chronic pain is the most common sign to understand the difficulties.



Hernia mesh attorneys blame the manufacturing companies for:

•    Concealing the possible dangerous side effects of the meshes

•    Failed to do sufficient clinical research and study before introducing them for public use

•    Continuously misbranded and misrepresented the product as a safe and effective alternative
