Hernia
mesh is used to support the weakened or damaged tissues after hernia
surgery. The procedure is expected to help quicken the recovery than the
existing traditional way of treatment. Unfortunately, some patients who
went through hernia repair surgery suffered serious complications,
which are mainly caused by the implanted surgical mesh.
Hernia
meshes, like Physiomesh and C-Qur mesh, can damage the bowels,
intestines, and abdomen which might then require additional (or
revision) surgery.
Victims
who had to or are now advised to go through a revision surgery are now
filing hernia mesh lawsuit claim against manufacturers like Atrium and
Ethicon. They claim that the companies designed unsafe and defective
products and failed to warn the doctors and the general public about
their potential complications.
