Inguinal hernia repair is one of the most popular procedures in the U.S today with almost a million operations happening every year. An effective way to treat hernia is to have it surgically repaired and patients rely on surgical methods to get better. Mesh is used to give patients a "tension-free" repair.
Additionally, the mesh provides a bridge to join the slit in the tissue with few sutures. The use of mesh can also lessen the pain. The mesh is supposed to be well-accepted by the body and acts like a support to reassure the growth of healthy tissue.However,it is a sad thing that defective surgical mesh can be used and result to serious internal injuries and possibly even death.Problems with different types of the Kugel hernia mesh could cause the device’s memory recoil ring to break, resulting to intestinal problems, bowel injuries or even death. This has directed to nationwide recalls of several Kugel mesh hernia repair products. Hernia mesh class action lawsuits are also reviewed.
Since December 2005,about 100,000 hernia repair patches have been recalled after many patients experienced complications after their surgery. Hernia mesh lawyers at Johnson Law Firm offer claim evaluation for free to help you determine if you are entitled to medical monitoring and compensation from the manufacturer of a faulty medical device.
A hernia mesh recall was issued in December 2005, March 2006 and January 2007 by C.R. Bard, Inc., and their subsidiary, Davol, Inc. But while some patients have received recall notices, many patients are left unconscious that they have the defective and recalled hernia mesh. This is why it is advisable to speak with hernia mesh attorneys that are examining lawsuits against the manufacturers of defective medical devices for not properly testing their products before introducing them to the market.
Meanwhile, if you experience fever, abdominal tenderness or pain, nausea, diarrhea or abnormal bowel movements or distended abdomen, these might be signs or symptoms of problems with the surgical mesh. If you are dealing with any of these, you should consult your physician right away in order to prevent your case from getting worse. You may undergo possible tests to know if the problems are caused by failure of the Kugel hernia mesh. These may include lower plate x-ray, barium swallow or enema and reverse imaging CT scan.
