About Hernia Mesh Complications Claims
Hernia mesh is a medical device used to provide additional support to damaged tissue around hernias during surgical repair. While mesh can be effective in preventing hernia recurrence, certain types of surgical mesh products have been associated with serious complications. Thousands of patients have reported adverse effects including severe pain, infection, adhesion (when the mesh sticks to internal organs), bowel obstruction, mesh migration (when the mesh moves from its original placement), and the need for revision surgery. Several manufacturers have faced lawsuits alleging that their hernia mesh products were defectively designed or that they failed to adequately warn about potential risks.
