If you have undergone a surgical hernia repair, you may have firsthand experience with hernia mesh. This medical device is used to support damaged tissue around a hernia to allow it to heal. Unfortunately, patients have been complaining about adverse side effects caused by hernia mesh.
Understanding Hernia Mesh Complications
Mesh devices have been used for decades to strengthen weakened or damaged tissue in hernia repair procedures. The devices are designed to minimize recovery time but can cause severe complications such as:
- Hernia Mesh Removal
- Hernia recurrence
- Adhesions
- Bacterial infections
- Obstructions
- Device migration
- Organ puncture
- Bowel perforation
- Allergic reaction
All these complications can lead to additional surgeries to remove the device and repair internal organs.
What Is the Average Payout for a Hernia Mesh Lawsuit?
The average payout a plaintiff receives for a hernia mesh lawsuit is between $50,000 to $80,000. Keep in mind that this range may be skewed by cases where a patient suffered extreme bodily harm.
How do I Qualify for a Hernia Mesh Lawsuit?
You may be entitled to initiate a civil suit if:
- You had a surgical procedure using a hernia mesh
- You experienced injuries or complications as a result
- You suffered financial loss or other damages
Hernia Mesh Litigation
Hernia mesh is typically made of non-absorbable propylene. It was first approved by the FDA over 50 years ago and became hugely popular despite a high rate of complications. The mesh was used in laparoscopic, ventral, and inguinal hernia repair surgeries.
Since then, there have been high rates of patient and surgeon complaints. Several independent studies revealed the dangers of the hernia mesh.
A voluntary withdrawal, as opposed to a recall of a product, allows a company to quietly remove a product from the market without the requirement for official safety alerts to patients, doctors, hospitals, and other medical professionals.
Multiple lawsuits have been filed on behalf of people who were harmed by the use of hernia mesh.
