Hernias are a protrusion which is caused in the abdominal wall by a tear in the weakened muscles or tissues. Before a hernia develops completely, there is no other option but to go for a surgical intervention.

Implantable fabric meshes have widely been used in the hernia surgery. They proved to be more effective than the traditional surgical procedures. Staples, stitches or glue is used to implant the meshes and it is expected that there is a lesser chance of hernias returning after the repair surgery.

Unfortunately, these FDA approved surgical devices have often been associated with the following hernia mesh complications and the victims have filed for hernia mesh lawsuit:

Infection in the surgical area

  • Allergic reaction
  • Organ perforation or puncture
  • Hernia recurrence
  • Need for further corrective surgery
  • Abscesses

Class action lawsuits have been filed against the manufacturing companies where the hernia mesh lawyers fight for the plaintiffs to get compensation for:

  • expenses of the ongoing and future medical bills
  • loss of wages
  • inability in earning capacity in future
  • damage for the present and future pain and suffering (both physical and psychological)
  • expenses for the revision surgeries

The FDA released a safety warning in 2014 citing the serious health complications associated with these meshes. Patients who suffered from the complications filed for hernia mesh lawsuit and are claiming for financial settlement from the manufacturing companies.

C-QUR and Physiomesh devices were labeled safe by the FDA and allowed a premarket clearance. However, the lawsuit allows the victims to claim for financial damage as they accuse the manufacturers of not following a proper safety protocol. Also, the companies did not warn the doctors or the patients about the potential complications linked with the drug. Lastly, the companies continued advertising the device as a safe and effective option despite the repeated adverse reports.

With more than one million repair surgeries taking place in the U.S. every year, one out of every three persons is happened to experience some sort of complications.
