Hernia mesh is used to prevent organs and surrounding tissue from squeezing through holes or weak spots in abdominal muscles. Placed above or below the weak spot, or directly into the hole, this medical product is intended to act as scaffolding, allowing a patient’s own tissue to regenerate, eventually incorporating the mesh into surrounding areas. Tragically, serious complications have begun to arise in patients who have had hernia mesh placed.
Hernia mesh from medical device manufacturers including Atrium and Ethicon are now linked to hernia recurrence in addition to:
- Intestinal blockage
- Organ and bowel perforation
- Adhesive scar tissue
- Infection
- Serious and debilitating pain

Hernia Mesh Repair
The only way to repair hernia mesh is revision surgery, which may include extraction of the mesh from organs and other tissue it has embedded itself into. This requires additional incisions, anesthesia, and surgical time, increasing risks for complications and creating both financial and physical problems for impacted patients.
The risks, costs, and emotional and physical damages caused by these defective medical devices demands swift and aggressive legal action. Our attorneys are prepared to begin working on your case immediately, and to take it as far as needed to secure for you the full compensation you deserve.
