What Led to the Hernia Mesh Lawsuits?

The use of meshes for the hernia repair surgery has seen phenomenal popularity all across the globe. Implantation of a mesh during the hernia surgery has been found to reduce the rate of recurrence. However, mesh‐related complications are also frequently reported, some of which are chronic pain, seromas, adhesions, rejection of the mesh, migration of mesh and other related infections.

Hernia mesh is used to support the damaged or torn tissues of the pelvic or abdominal region from where a hernia protrudes. Unfortunately, the Physiomesh and C-Qur mesh have been reported to cause abdomen, bowels and intestinal damage when it requires a corrective surgery.

 The surgical mesh lawsuit allows the victims to claim for financial damage for the mesh complications they suffered. Many of the hernia mesh lawsuits allege that the manufacturing companies did not properly warn doctors or the patients about the potential complications. There are also claims which note that manufacturers didn’t properly perform the required safety protocols. Moreover, C-QUR and Physiomesh devices were labeled safe by the FDA which allowed a premarket clearance of the same. It allegedly meant that the devices were effective although the real situation was different.

The most common method of treating any hernia complication is to go for a corrective surgery. Bloating or the disability to pass stools is a major indication of hernia mesh failure. Unusual soreness or inflammation is sometimes seen in the incision site. Chronic groin pain is a sign that it has caused nerve damage by the eroded or migrating hernia mesh. Intestinal walls or abdominal organs are more prone to such damage. Biofilm infections might occur at such places. Some studies show that hernia mesh infection can cause severe dental problems. Frequent nausea, fever, and vomiting are also signs of a failed mesh implant.

Hernia is of very common occurrence and it would need repair surgery. However, the defective mesh quality or improper surgical techniques can qualify a victim for financial compensation.
