What We Know About Hernia Mesh Lawsuits in Florida

The main argument surrounding hernia mesh products is that they are defectively designed, so they have been known to cause unnecessary injuries and excess surgeries that would not have occurred had the mesh product been designed correctly or if sutures had been used instead. The key legal issue of hernia mesh lawsuits is that the hernia mesh products in question are designed with materials that harden, shrink, migrate, fail, or contract which can lead to bowel and nerve damage resulting in the need for further surgeries. The manufacturers of these hernia mesh devices have been promoting and marketing these products for the use in repairing smaller hernias, which can be treated in other ways, such as laparoscopic surgery and stitches.

With 21.48 million people residing in Florida, it is no shock that so many adverse hernia mesh cases are reported to the FDA on a daily basis. Hernia repairs are quite common, with more than one million hernia repairs being performed each year in the U.S. Sadly, more than one-third of hernia surgeries result in complications, which may include:

• Bowel obstruction
• Abdominal or stomach pain from the hernia mesh
• Severe infections requiring the hernia mesh to be removed
• Neurological damage
• Renal failure
• Joint damage
• Hernia recurrence
• Organ perforation
• Pain during sex also known as “Dyspareunia”
• Adhesions from coated mesh devices
• Fistulas
• Bunching of the mesh
• Migration of the mesh
• Contracting or shrinking of the mesh
• Liver problems
