You\u2019ll do whatever is necessary to relieve the incredible pain you\u2019re experiencing. Whatever a doctor suggests, a patient with a hernia is likely to agree to. In many cases, that means agreeing to a surgery, which then means agreeing to the use of surgical mesh.<\/p><div id=\"glm-mobile-toc-box\" style=\"display: none;\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fda.gov\/MedicalDevices\/ProductsandMedicalProcedures\/ImplantsandProsthetics\/HerniaSurgicalMesh\/default.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">Food and Drug Administration<\/a> defines mesh as a <strong>\u201cmedical device that is used to provide additional support to weakened or damaged tissue.\u201d<\/strong> Mesh comes in many different forms. It can be made from synthetic materials or from animal tissue. It can be knitted or in sheet form. Some mesh can be implanted permanently, while others are designed to dissolve over time. If you or a loved one has experienced complications related to mesh implants, it&#8217;s essential to seek guidance from an experienced <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terrybryant.com\/houston-product-injury-lawyer\">product injury attorney<\/a> to understand your legal options.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, as much as mesh can be helpful in treating a patient with a hernia, many types of surgical mesh have been recalled because they pose a major threat to patients. Surgical remedies for hernias come with several potential risks, but when a surgeon uses a defective hernia mesh, the complications can be even more extreme than the original injury. In such cases, it&#8217;s essential to seek guidance from a qualified <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terrybryant.com\/houston-product-injury-lawyer\/defective-medical-device\/hernia-mesh-injury-lawyer\">hernia mesh injury attorney<\/a> to protect your rights and explore the possibility of compensation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>The FDA found through its research that adverse events involving hernia mesh include:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Pain<\/li>\n<li>Infection<\/li>\n<li>Hernia recurrence<\/li>\n<li>Adhesion<\/li>\n<li>Bowel obstruction.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Those complications can involve mesh that hasn\u2019t been subjected to recalls.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2>Hernia Mesh Recalls<\/h2>\n<p><strong>There have been several recalls of surgical mesh.<\/strong> While that means that some of the mesh most prone to failure is no longer on the market, there are still many patients who have had defective mesh implanted in their bodies. There are also many different makers of mesh and, as we have already seen, so many different types of mesh on the market, that there are likely several more types of mesh that could be harming patients even though they haven\u2019t been recalled yet.<\/p>\n<p>Recalls are important for the safety of patients but, unfortunately, products are often recalled only after serious damage has been suffered by many patients. It\u2019s important for patients who have had hernia mesh used in their surgical procedures to be aware of the complications commonly associated with defective mesh so they can seek medical help and consider consulting a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terrybryant.com\/houston-medical-malpractice-lawyer\">medical malpractice lawyer<\/a> to explore their legal options.<\/p>\n<h2>What to Do if You\u2019re Hurt by Hernia Mesh<\/h2>\n<p>If you believe that you or a loved one has suffered serious harm from hernia mesh, you should get medical attention and contact the accident and injury law office of Terry Bryant to learn more about your options. In addition to the many physical complications that can occur from faulty hernia mesh, there are also many other consequences for patients. Getting additional surgeries or treatment can be very costly. Injury or illness might also lead to time away from work, costing a patient money at a time when they have additional medical bills to pay.<\/p>\n<p>We offer free consultations so you can discuss the details of your case and find out if you might have grounds for filing a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.terrybryant.com\/houston-work-injury-lawyer\/workers-compensation-lawyer\">worker compensation injury claim<\/a>.
