About Hernia Mesh

• Even though the Food and Drug Administration must
  give medical device manufacturers approval
  before they can put their products on the market,
  they dont always go through rigorous testing.
  The FDA allowed hernia mesh manufacturers to put
  their products on the market using the 510(k)
  clearance process, which is a fast-track program.
  Unfortunately, this process allowed defective
  hernia mesh products onto to the market, which
  led to complications in many patients which led
  to Hernia Mesh lawsuits.
• On this page we explain everything from
  complications to which companies are under fire
  to trial dates for lawsuits in 2017 and beyond.
  This all leads to the question you might be

Why is Hernia Mesh Used?

• Hernias occur when there is weakness in the
  stomach wall which allows tissue or part of the
  intestine to poke through the weak area. Along
  with abdominal or umbilical hernias, there are
  many other types which surgeons can repair by
  either stitching them to enclose the bowel or
  tissue or they can use mesh to cover the hole and
  strengthen the area where the weakness was
  located.
• Hernia mesh implants can be used on these types
  of hernias
• Abdominal which is located along the walls of
  the abdomen.
• Incisional which are hernias at the site of a
  previous injury or surgery.
• Inguinal which is in the groin area.
• Umbilical these usually occur around the belly
  button, so they are easy to see.
• Hiatal which is an abdominal hernia in the
  upper part of the stomach
• Femoral located at the upper thigh, around the
  outer groin or labia, making them more common in
  women.
• Inguinal hernias are the most common type of
  hernias and incisional hernias are the second
  most common type. Unfortunately, due to
  fast-tracking hernia mesh products, many of them
  have failed due to design defects, leading to
  serious complications.

Hernia Mesh Complications

• There have been many complications reported by
  patients whove had hernia mesh applied during a
  hernia repair. Some of the more common
  complications linked to hernia mesh implants are
• Infections
• Abdominal Pain
• Hernia Recurrence
• Adhesions involving organs or scar tissue.
• Bowel Obstructions
• Perforations of tissue or organs.
• Fluid Build-Up, also called Seroma
• Auto-Immune Disorders
• Meshoma
• Many hernia complications are the result of
  surgeons implanting the mesh after a laparoscopic
  hernia repair surgery. The laparoscopic procedure
  increases the risk of the hernia mesh touching
  other organs, which could cause them to adhere to
  those organs and cause multiple complications.
  Some of the manufacturers have taken their hernia
  mesh implants off the market, including Ethicon,
  who made the Physiomesh hernia mesh implant.
