Hernia Mesh Lawsuit Overview

Hernia surgery is a common medical procedure where a hernia mesh is often used to provide support to the weakened or damaged tissue. However, thousands of hernia mesh lawsuits have been filed in recent years over the alleged design defects of the Ethicon Physiomesh, Atrium C-Qur, Alloderm, Kugel Patch, and other hernia mesh products.

Each of the hernia mesh claims raise similar allegations that users suffered painful and debilitating injuries that could have been avoided if the manufacturer had issued adequate warnings.

Hernia mesh lawsuits claim that manufacturers failed to uphold their obligation to adequately research their products and warn about risks associated with their device. In many cases, it appears the manufacturers knew, or should have known about the growing number of adverse events associated with their surgical mesh products, yet failed to warn patients, doctors or the medical community.

As a result, individuals are now seeking financial compensation from the manufacturers for their injuries caused by the failing hernia mesh products.

2025 Hernia Mesh Lawsuit Updates

April 2, 2025 Update: Despite last year’s confidential Bard hernia mesh settlement, at least 23 new lawsuits have been filed in the Southern District of Ohio, where multidistrict litigation continues under Judge Edmund A. Sargus. Recent claims include plaintiffs who underwent multiple surgeries after mesh products like the Bard 3DMax, Ventralex, and PerFix Plug allegedly failed. Individuals filing new cases after July 6, 2024, must meet strict court-imposed requirements, including sworn certifications and case-specific expert reports, or risk dismissal of their claims

March 28, 2025 Update: With over 1,600 Covidien hernia mesh lawsuits pending in the federal court system, the involved lawyers have progressed in their plans to potentially settle the Covidien cases out of court. Last month, they prepared to select a mediator for in-depth settlement discussions. A joint status report issued on March 11 confirmed that the parties have arranged to meet with the mediator for an in-person status conference during the week of March 31, with possible dates being March 31, April 1, April 2, or April 4. These settlement talks, if successful, could negate the need for individual bellwether trials. However, until an agreement is reached, preparations for these trials continue.

March 4, 2025 Update: Last month, the Plaintiffs’ Steering Committee (PSC) and defense attorneys filed a joint stipulation calling again for an extension of certain discovery deadlines in the Covidien hernia mesh litigation, indicating they mistakenly asked for too short a time period for two expert discovery deadlines in last year’s request. The new deadlines call for plaintiffs’ expert reports for the Bellwether Pool cases to be completed by March 7, defendants’ expert reports due by April 18, and Plaintiffs’ rebuttal expert reports due by May 2.

February 5, 2025 Update: To date, over 25,000 hernia mesh lawsuits are currently pending in multiple multidistrict litigations, targeting major manufacturers for the alleged failures of their medical products. Currently, Ethicon, a Johnson & Johnson subsidiary, is dealing with 16 cases; Covidien, part of Medtronic, faces 1,660 lawsuits; and Bard, a division of Becton Dickinson, is confronting a substantial 24,102 lawsuits.

December 2, 2024 Update: In a case management order issued late last month, U.S. District Judge Edmund A. Sargus announced the appointments of Ellen K. Reisman and John Jackson, to serve as Special Masters in the federal multidistrict litigation (MDL) to organize and manage a Court-supervised Intensive Settlement Process (ISP), which is intended to resolve claims that do not settle as part of the global agreement. These Special Masters will hold a series of mediation sessions and provide the court with a quarterly update on the progress of the ISP, which is expected to continue through at least mid-2029.

November 1, 2024 Update: As many await the final details of the Bard hernia mesh lawsuit settlement, a news report has indicated that Becton Dickinson & Co. will pay over $1 billion to settle more than 38,000 lawsuits, which cites that Becton has allocated $1.7 billion for all its product-liability cases, including those related to mesh litigation.

October 4, 2024 Update: In the Covidien hernia mesh litigation, U.S. Magistrate Judge M. Page Kelley issued a case management order outlining agreed protocols between plaintiffs’ and defendants’ attorneys for handling pathological evidence crucial to Covidien hernia mesh lawsuits. This evidence includes remnants of Covidien mesh and affected tissues removed from plaintiffs, essential for proving injury claims and defective design allegations. The order ensures both parties have equal access to this untested material, preserved for analysis without interference, except where routine procedures might destroy it. Additionally, it requires a pause in current testing and mandates collaboration on handling already conducted analyses, with the court ready to intervene if necessary. This pivotal evidence is expected to influence the selection of cases for the initial Covidien mesh bellwether trials, slated to start no earlier than the end of 2025.

October 3, 2024 Update: Beckton, Dickinson and Company, the parent of C.R. Bard, recently announced a Bard hernia mesh lawsuit settlement agreement aimed at resolving the majority of the ongoing hernia mesh litigation. Although specific financial details were not disclosed, the payments are planned over several years as part of the company’s cash flow and capital allocation strategies. The settlement, pending approval from most plaintiffs, is not an admission of guilt, and unresolved claims will continue to be contested by the company.

October 1, 2024 Update: In a recent JPML docket update issued on October 1, 2024, the panel indicates the number of claims filed in the Bard and Covidien hernia mesh litigations have significantly increased, with a total of 24,115 Bard hernia mesh lawsuits on the Bard Hernia Mesh Docket (2846), and 1,511 Covidien hernia mesh lawsuits on the Covidien Hernia Docket (3029).

July 3, 2024 Update: Judge Sargus issued an order on July 1, denying a request by two law firms to allow a potential Bard hernia mesh settlement deal to resolve hundreds of claims to be filed under seal, indicating that previous precedent in such matters have already made it clear that the public has a strong interest in obtaining the information contained in the court record.

June 4, 2024 Update: Lawyers are actively engaged in settlement discussions for a global resolution of over 21,000 Bard hernia mesh lawsuits consolidated in the MDL. The presiding judge had directed the parties to report any stalemate in negotiations by May 24, 2024. With no deadlock reported, Bard hernia mesh settlement negotiations will proceed up to the forthcoming deadline of June 24. By this date, parties must submit joint or individual proposals for remanding claims back to their originating trial courts.

May 1, 2024 Update: In a recent JPML docket update issued on May 1, 2024, the panel indicates the number of claims filed in several hernia mesh MDLs has grown within the last month, with a total of 22,256 Bard hernia mesh lawsuits on the Bard Hernia Mesh Docket (2846), 1,181 Covidien hernia mesh lawsuits on the Covidien Hernia Docket (3029), and 55 claims registered to the Ethicon Physiomesh Docket (2781).

April 15, 2024 Update: The judge overseeing the Covidien hernia mesh MDL issued a case management order on April 8, which now extends general corporate discovery to December 9, and pushes the close of expert discovery until May 29, 2025.

April 1, 2024 Update: Parties involved in the Bard hernia mesh lawsuit met last week to discuss potential global bard hernia mesh settlements. A mediation session was scheduled for March 25 and 26, 2024, as part of an effort to reach a global settlement for the more than 21,000 product liability lawsuits filed against C.R. Bard.

February 28, 2024 Update: The U.S. District judge presiding over all Covidien hernia mesh lawsuits issued a stipulated order (PDF) on February 20, ordering the manufacturer to turn over “a voluminous collection” of hernia mesh complaint files without redacting them, “to expedite production”. The files are expected to reveal a history of Covidien hernia mesh problems experienced by individuals across the country over the last decade.

February 20, 2024 Update: Judge Sargus issued a case management order this month instructing lawyers involved in the Bard hernia mesh litigation to hold face-to-face settlement negotiations on March 4 and 5, in an effort to reach a global bard hernia mesh settlement. According to the order, parties will only have three months to make progress, or else the court may consider returning large numbers of claims back to U.S. District Courts nationwide for individual trial dates.

January 1, 2024 Update: There are currently more than 20,000 product liability lawsuits pending in a Bard hernia mesh MDL (multidistrict litigation), which is centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio. The U.S. District Judge presiding over those claims pending against C.R. Bard in the federal court system has released a pretrial schedule for various deadlines leading up to the next bellwether trial, which is set to go before a jury in February 2023.

Is There a Hernia Mesh Class Action Lawsuit?

Thousands of individual hernia mesh lawsuits filed against manufacturers are being handled through a legal process known as multidistrict litigations (MDLs). MDLs are designed to efficiently process a large number of lawsuits that share common issues.

In the case of hernia mesh, several MDLs have been established to address claims against different manufacturers. Hernia mesh multidistrict litigations have been formed to handle lawsuits against the following manufacturers and their brands of hernia mesh products.

Bard Hernia Mesh Lawsuits

Bard Davol (a subsidiary of C.R. Bard) is one of the leading manufacturers that has been named in thousands of Bard hernia mesh lawsuits filed in recent years. Bard hernia mesh lawsuits claim that many of the surgical mesh products contain defects that make the mesh prone to failure, and the need for revision surgery within a few years.

Some of the surgical mesh products named in Bard hernia mesh lawsuits include;

  • 3D Max
  • Kugel mesh
  • Ventralex
  • Composix
  • PerFix
  • Ventrio
  • Visilex
  • Other Bard brands

Due to the growing number of Bard hernia mesh lawsuits being filed raising similar questions of fact and law, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) decided to consolidate and centralize all hernia mesh lawsuits filed nationwide against C.R. Bard before U.S. District Judge Edmund A. Sargus in the Southern District of Ohio for coordinated discovery and management.

As of early 2024, more than 20,000 Bard hernia mesh lawsuits are awaiting early bellwether hernia mesh trial results in the Davol, Inc./C.R. Bard, Inc., Polypropylene Hernia Mesh Products Liability Litigation MDL 2846.

Ethicon Hernia Mesh Lawsuits

Ethicon Physiomesh was introduced in March 2010, featuring a unique, multilayered design that was intended to improve performance. However, amid a high number of failures, an Ethicon Physiomesh recall was issued in May 2016, removing the product from the market worldwide.

Due to a rising number of Ethicon hernia mesh lawsuits filed in the wake of the recall, the JPML centralized all Ethicon hernia mesh claims filed throughout federal courts in the Northern District of Georgia before U.S. District Judge Richard Story.

Some of the Ethicon hernia mesh brands named in lawsuits include;

  • Physiomesh Mesh
  • Proceed
  • PHS
  • Prolene 3D
  • Prolene Hernia System

Plaintiffs in these cases allege that the Ethicon Physiomesh was defectively designed and manufactured, leading to severe complications like abdominal pain, infection, hernia recurrence, adhesions, perforations, erosion, and other injuries associated with the failure of the hernia mesh.

Covidien Hernia Mesh Lawsuits

Covidien, now a subsidiary of Medtronic, produces hernia mesh devices like Parietex. These products have been the focus of legal action alleging defects and resulting injuries.

Given common questions of fact and law raised in complaints filed in U.S. District Courts nationwide, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation centralized the Covidien hernia mesh lawsuits into a Covidien hernia mesh multidistrict litigation (MDL 3029) in June 2022, transferring all cases to U.S. District Judge Patti B. Saris in the District Judge in Massachusetts, for coordinated discovery and a series of early trial dates

Each of the lawsuits involve similar allegations, indicating that plaintiffs experienced complications after receiving defective polypropylene hernia mesh products sold in recent years, including but not limited to;

  • Parietex Composite
  • Parietex ProGrip
  • Parietex Plug and Patch
  • Symbotex

Atrium C-Qur Mesh Lawsuits

Atrium manufactures various hernia mesh products, including C-QUR mesh. Their mesh implants have been implicated in lawsuits involving serious complications such as infections, adhesions, and mesh failures.

Following a growing number of Atrium C-Qur hernia mesh lawsuits filed throughout the federal court system, the cases were centralized in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Hampshire in December 2016, where Judge Landya McCafferty has been presiding over coordinate discovery and pretrial proceedings.

Some of the Atrium hernia mesh products named in lawsuits filed in the Atrium Medical Corp. C-Qur Mesh Products Liability Litigation include;

  • C-Qur
  • C-Qur Mosaic
  • C-Qur Edge
  • C-Qur FX Mesh
  • C-Qur TacShield
  • C-Qur Lite Mesh V-Patch
  • C-Qur Mesh V-Patch
  • Atrium C-Qur Centrifx

Hernia Mesh Products Linked to Complications

Multiple hernia mesh products have been associated with dangerous and defective designs that have resulted in serious and potentially life threatening injuries to individuals. These designs and subsequent health implications have resulted in numerous investigations and recalls in recent years.

LifeCell Strattice Mesh

A hernia mesh product liability lawsuit was filed on September 9, 2021, raising allegations that the LifeCell Strattice biologic graft contains a defective design that can lead to implant failures requiring surgical removal.

These allegations suggest that the use of this product can lead to distressing and disfiguring complications associated with hernia mesh, causing significant pain for affected individuals.

During June 2021, multiple hernia mesh plaintiffs recommended the consolidation of all Strattice Mesh lawsuits in New Jersey state court, under the supervision of a single judge, for the purpose of conducting pretrial proceedings as part of a multi-county litigation (MCL).

Ethicon Physiomesh

An Ethicon Physiomesh recall was issued in May 2016, removing the product from the market worldwide amid a large number of failures and revision surgeries. Although the FDA classified the action as a “market withdrawal” in the United States, several foreign regulatory agencies have classified the action as a hernia mesh recall, and Ethicon has required all unused inventory to be returned and does not intend to begin selling the product again since it was unable to identify the cause of the problems associated with the controversial hernia mesh. The lawsuits were consolidated for pretrial proceedings as part of an MDL, or multidistrict litigation, in May 2017.

Atrium C-Qur Mesh

Pronounced “secure”, C-qur is a polypropylene mesh that is covered in a gel made from omega 3 fatty acids and triglycerides. It has been linked to a number of adverse events and complications, including claims that it causes friction with the underlying tissue. In October 2012, the FDA issued a warning letter to Atrium, citing the company for failing to respond to complaints about the C-QUR mesh and other products. The FDA accused the company of failing to review or investigate any complaints involving Atrium C-QUR failures or infections. The lawsuits were consolidated for pretrial proceedings as part of an MDL, or multidistrict litigation, in December 2016.

Kugel Hernia Mesh Patches

Recalls have been issued for a variety of different Kugel hernia products used for repair of ventral or incisional hernias, which may develop at the site of prior surgical scars. The Kugel Patch contains a memory recoil ring around the perimeter of the mesh, which allows the doctor to fold it during the hernia repair. It is designed to spring open once in place to lay flat. However, design defects may cause the plastic ring to break, resulting in serious internal injury. A number of Kugel hernia mesh settlements have been reached in recent years.

AlloDerm Regenerative Tissue Matrix

Alloderm is a hernia repair and abdominal reconstructive surgery patch, which is manufactured from tissue harvested from human cadavers. The manufacturer then aseptically processes the tissue to remove the cells and epidermis, and freeze-dries it to remove some of its elasticity, leaving a white, fibrous patch.

When used as a hernia repair patch, Alloderm has been linked to problems due to the manufacturer’s initial failure to warn physicians about the importance of pre-stretching the product, which can expand after it is implanted, causing a number of painful and debilitating complications.

Personal Stories from Hernia Mesh Recipients

For years, many individuals who have received these hernia mesh products have faced unexpected and often severe complications, ranging from chronic pain to additional surgeries.

As AboutLawsuits has closely covered the growing number of problems linked to Bard, Ethicon, Covidien or other hernia mesh products, as well as the growing litigations, many individuals have turned to our platform to share their personal experiences. Below are just several of many comments left by hernia mesh recipients who have experienced problems.

Timothy: AboutLawsuits Commenter, October 12, 2022

“I had hernia surgery in 2019 with Bard Propylene mesh. 4 days after being released from the hospital it got so badly infected I almost died from it. They did a second surgery immediately and since then I’ve had a third surgery from a recurring hernia and now have another recurring hernia with a softball size knot protruding out of my abdomen…”

Jeff: AboutLawsuits Commenter, December 6, 2010

“My wife had 3 hernia surgeries, the last one was to replace the kugel patch. She passed away in 2008 at the age of 32 with fatal bowel problems.”

Wayne: AboutLawsuits Commenter, October 23, 2023

“I had Strattice mesh used for a hernia created during surgery in 2009. The mesh is frozen to my organs inside my body and can’t be removed. I have had to have an ileostomy bag… as well as the mesh adhering to a vein in my leg causing two separate blood clots in which I am on blood thinners for.”

Helen: AboutLawsuits Commenter, February 11, 2022

“I have had 3 surgeries. Each one of them the mesh tore which caused me to have another surgery. Now I have no elasticity left in my stomach wall to do another surgery. Now I have to have reconstructive stomach surgery before they can repair my hernia again.”

Charles: AboutLawsuits Commenter, July 5, 2017

“I had Ethicion’s Physio mesh implanted my due to a previous abdominal aortic aneurysm repair surgery with resulting surgical hernias. Since then then I’ve had other surgical hernias appear and tremendous pain in abdomen, hips, groin areas, along with colon and bowel disruptions. I‘ve have had nothing but health problems since Ethicon Physio Mesh was implanted in me!”

Recalled Hernia Mesh Brands

Some hernia mesh products that have been recalled or faced significant safety concerns in the past include:

  • Ethicon Physiomesh: In May 2016, Ethicon issued a worldwide voluntary recall of its Physiomesh composite mesh due to higher-than-average rates of hernia recurrence and reoperation.
  • Atrium C-QUR Mesh: Atrium Medical Corporation faced concerns regarding its C-QUR mesh products. While there wasn’t a complete recall, the FDA issued a Class II recall of this hernia mesh product in 2013 due to packaging issues and concerns over sterility.
  • Bard Ventralex ST Hernia Patch: In 2005, C.R. Bard recalled specific lots of its Ventralex ST hernia patch due to the potential for delamination, where the layers of the mesh can separate, leading to serious complications.

We highly recommend staying updated with the latest information from regulatory agencies like the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regarding hernia mesh recalls.

How Long Do I Have to File a Hernia Mesh Lawsuit?

Every state has its own statute of limitations for which an abdominal hernia mesh lawsuit can be filed to seek compensation. Typically, in the majority of state courts, this time limit to initiate legal action is limited to approximately one to two years from the point at which the individuals affected by hernia mesh injuries become aware of their specific harm caused by the hernia mesh.

Hernia mesh lawsuit statute of limitations can vary from state to state and can be influenced by factors such as the date of the surgery, the date of the discovery of complications, and whether the claim involves product liability or medical malpractice.

What Injuries Can Lead to a Hernia Mesh Lawsuit?

A variety of injuries and complications resulting from hernia mesh implants can potentially lead to a mesh lawsuit. Some common injuries that may warrant legal action include:

  • Chronic Pain: Persistent and debilitating pain in the abdominal or surgical site, which may hinder daily activities and quality of life.
  • Infections: Recurrent or severe infections at the site of the hernia mesh implant, often requiring additional medical intervention and treatment.
  • Mesh Erosion: The hernia mesh implant may erode or migrate from its intended position, causing damage to surrounding tissues, organs, or blood vessels.
  • Adhesion Formation: Abnormal tissue connections or adhesions can develop between the mesh and nearby structures, potentially leading to pain, bowel obstruction, or other complications.
  • Hernia Mesh Failure or Complications: This includes hernia mesh shrinkage, mesh folding or wrinkling, mesh detachment, or other issues that compromise the effectiveness of the hernia repair.
  • Organ Perforation: In some cases, a defective hernia mesh implant may puncture or perforate organs, leading to severe pain, infection, and the need for further surgical intervention.
  • Allergic Reactions: Some individuals may experience allergic reactions or hypersensitivity to the materials used in the hernia mesh implant, resulting in inflammation, chronic pain, or other complications.

It is important to note that each hernia mesh case is unique, and the specific injuries and complications may vary.

Hernia Mesh Lawsuit Settlements

Settlement amounts in hernia mesh cases can vary significantly. While it is challenging to determine an exact figure, potential hernia mesh settlements have been reported by hernia mesh lawyers to range between $65,000 to $80,000 on average, with the possibility of reaching as high as $1 million.

What is the Average Payout for the Hernia Mesh Lawsuit?

A hernia mesh lawsuit average payout can vary greatly, making it challenging to estimate the value of a specific case without a consultation. Numerous hernia mesh lawsuits have been settled, while many others are still awaiting resolution. Hernia mesh lawsuit settlements can range from $50,000 to as high as $1 million, depending on the severity and extent of the injuries involved. To gain a clearer understanding of the potential value of your case, it is crucial to consult with an experienced hernia mesh attorney.

Factors Affecting Hernia Mesh Lawsuit Settlement Amounts

Several factors can influence hernia mesh settlement amounts. While each case is unique and outcomes can vary, the following are common factors that can impact a hernia mesh lawsuit average payout amount:

  • Severity of injuries: The extent and severity of the injuries caused by the defective hernia mesh are a crucial consideration. Severe complications, chronic pain, permanent disabilities, and the need for extensive medical treatments often result in higher hernia mesh lawsuit settlement amounts.
  • Medical Expenses: The financial costs associated with hernia mesh surgery, hospital stays, medications, and ongoing care are significant factors in determining settlement amounts. Higher medical expenses often lead to larger settlements.
  • Lost Wages & Income: If the injuries from the hernia mesh have caused the plaintiff to miss work or experience a diminished earning capacity, the potential income loss is considered when determining the settlement amount.
  • Pain & Suffering: Compensation for physical pain, emotional distress, mental anguish, and a diminished quality of life due to the hernia mesh complications is a significant factor in settlement negotiations.
  • Liability & Strength of the Case: The strength of the evidence and legal arguments against the hernia mesh manufacturers or other liable parties can influence the settlement negotiation process. Hernia mesh cases with substantial evidence may result in a higher settlement offer.
  • Individual Circumstances: Each individual’s unique circumstances, including their age, pre-existing health conditions, and the impact of the injuries on their daily life, are taken into account when assessing the hernia mesh settlement amount.

How Long Does it Take to Settle an Abdominal Hernia Mesh Lawsuit?

The time required to settle hernia mesh litigation varies based on factors such as case complexity, pretrial proceedings, settlement negotiations, court schedules, and individual circumstances. As a result, it is challenging to provide an exact timeline.

Some hernia mesh cases may conclude within months, while others can extend for several years. Consulting with a hernia mesh lawyer is essential to gain a better understanding of the potential timeframe specific to your case.

It was ok till last year.I started getting pain that made me double over and had fever of 104.My stomach area started swelling up and turning red.The surgeon put in a drainage tube for infection and later surgery to take out the infected mesh that put a hole in my bowel.The surgery was several hours long as the surgeon used tweezers to pull the mesh out one strand at a time,as he was afraid some of my organs might be stuck to the mesh.I now have a hernia that cannot be fixed.It is too big and difficult.I have to wear a tight binder at all times,except to take shower,and it has been hell.

I had the hernia plug put in in 2006, I have had nothing but pain afterwards. The Drs. office told me it was because of the surgery, and it should feel better with time……….NOT. At times it hurts so bad I can hardly move.

I had my left kidney taken out and then ended up with a hernia. The repair/mesh failed. I then went to mayo in mn and they took out the old mesh and replaced it with the largest mesh they had. I have had a collection of fluid that has had to be drained twice and then they tried to tack the inside of my stomach to the mesh. still have a litter of fluid on my side, hurts all the time, can’t bend etc. they keep telling me to lose weight and maybe that will help. how is weight lose going to help get rid of the litter of fluid. they keep draining and it keeps filling back up. I look pregnant. Nobody will do anything about it because it is the mayo system. I would love help

These products still do not recall outside of United Stetes. Many patient will take risk for using them. The company should conduct clinical trial, and determine the long term effectiveness and safety. The other bad behavoir of Bard you should know of it. C. R. Bard also have corrupt activity in China. Please pay attention on that: The corrupt activity of Vice president of C.R. Bard in China. Bard China is a subsidiary company of C. R. BARD. The headquarters of C. R. Bard is in New Jersey. The Corporate senior vice president, name is John Deford, he had a visiting activity in hospital of China when he visits in Shanghai on 9th May this year, and he gave gifts (price more than $100 USD, that’s two of Tiffany gifts) to a physician during visiting time, and the physician immediately used the product (name Lifestent vascular stent, price above $3,000USD) of Bard Company for patient at that time. After the visiting, he gave others gifts to marketing manager of Bard China, and let the marketing manager give those gifts to the other physician. I think that his behavior violate the FCPA and laws of China.

I have had 4 surgeries for a hernia repair with a Bard mesh starting on 7/3/12. I still have an open wound as of 4/16/13. I have had an infection most of the time, but right now I do not (that I know of). I had the mesh finally replaced on 2/19/13 and have been in the hospital 2 more times for infection, one of the times was very serious and a huge loss of blood. I work part-time and do not get paid when I am off and have been off quite a lot in the past year, plus I have a lot of medical bills. I have been to a wound care clinic (no help), home health nurse (some help), used a wound vac twice (no help) and I am finally (I think) healing on my own with the help of a friend who is a dr. and knows a lot about nutrition.

I have had a bulge sticking out of my right side for about a year. They took a CT scan and an ultra sound and couldn’t find anything,they would send me home saying it was my bowels and I need to take laxatives. I went to a specialist and he decided to do exploratory surgery on October 1, 2012 and found out that I had a hernia that was big in size. He put a mesh over it and today I still see the same bulge on my right side now its even bigger and more painful than before. I went to the emergency room and they gave me a CT scan and said it was my bowels again and sent me home. I’m still in a lot of pain. I’m a mother of nine and can’t take care of my kids because of the pain every time I move it stops me in my tracks. Can anyone help me

I have an umblical hernia for past over 15 years which has not been causing any major problems. Off-late there is more projection as the intestine get into it a bit more. It goes down on its own when i lie on back by little pressing. Should I undergo surgery as I am told hernia can recur even after open surgery and the mesh.

I had umbilical hernia repair surgery around October 2003 at Kaiser in Panorama City, CA; in 2005, after a slight cough, I felt it pop out again, right under my navel. The little bastard was back! When I heard of a class-action lawsuit a few years ago, I investigated the details of my surgery through Kaiser; this is what I found (according to Kaiser): There was no O.R. Record # of my procedure; There was no Lot # on the mesh product they used; There was no written evidence of ANY KIND to support that they had ever performed the procedure. I thought that was rather convenient. Here I am, some 7 years later, still doubling over in pain from time to time, still pushing it back into my abdominal wall (when it decides to go back in), and I can’t even exercise properly to get back into shape to keep the weight off. I have no medical coverage as I did at the time of the initial procedure (just starting out again at minimum wage after being unemployed for 3 years); I don’t suppose I have any legal recourse at this juncture…
Missy
My mom had Hernia surgery 3 years ago. Now she just had surgery for fishula. Witch is caused from the hernia surgery. No her mesh is infected and she is laying in hospital sick. Please help my mother. I love her so much. Thank you, Her daughter, Missy Crippen
Yolanda
I had 3 hernia repairs in 2010. Also the Dr. performed a Nissen Fundiplication during the surgery. I have been in constant pain every since. Also had surgical mesh implanted because of the hernias. I experience incontinence during the night, and when I lift something. My stomach stays swollen, and hurts, especially after I eat or am on my feet for any length of time. My job requires lifting, pulling, pushing, and pulling. By the end of my shift, I am in excruciating pain. The surgeon that did the procedure has left the state. Because of his botched work on some surgeries I can’t get another surgeon to even help me. Please advise me, on whom I should talk too.

I had a hernia repair in 2009 , within 6 months the hernia reopened. It was repaired with a mesh patch, which again reopened about a year later, I now have had the third repair , each hernia has been larger than the last, thus surgery was done in June of this year, I have pain almost continuously at each point where the incisions were made. I also have had small particles if what I can only assume to be mesh work it’s way out of my skin, there is another spot that us trying to ” expel” this material .i also am having a lot of stomach upset and bowel problems , should I be concerned, are these things related to the surgery? Help!

I had breast cancer in 2004 where I had to have a masectomy. The surgeon who performed my mascetomy told me that I should wait one year or longer before I did reconstruction. He is a great doctor whom I love at trust so I waited. I went into the Hospital in 2005 and had tram flap surgery to reconstruct my breast and to have sury on my other breast so they would be uniformed. About three days after the surger was done the new breast done with the tram flap. turhed purle and black, the breast was getting infected. The surgoen who did the surgery after coming into my room numerous time with other doctors told me he had to do emergency surgery to removed the infected breast immediately. He removed the breast and later on I got infection in my stomach. I overheard him mention to another doctor something pretaining to a mesh, which at the time I didn’t know what mesh was. Needless to say I ended up in the hospital for about three months fight a flesh eating infectio where my stomach was left open to heal from the inside out. I later as this doctor do he think this mesh thing I overheard him talking to another doctor could be the cause of my problems, he said it could be. My sister who was staying with me in the hospital took pictures because she didn’t like what was going on. After leaving the hospitaL I had to have a home heal;th care nurse visit me during the wekk to change the dressing and to empty a wound pump that continuously sucked out infection everyday, twenty-four hours a day. I had to learn to clean and change my bandages on the weekend. I contacted lawyers here in Georgia but they said it would cost a lot of money to pursue my case. I asked for my medical records from the hospital. they told me it would be $800.00 to get just a portion oof my records which I didn’t have nor did any family or friends because they were trying to help me financially. After seing information on television in 2011, I tried contacting lawyers who told me the statue of limitations had run out. After doing investigating on the web, I found information on a poll law that I think states you may sue if you just found out about information about a product you can start from that date. I have records from the plastic surgeon who did my reconstruction sating he had used a mesh when doing my surgery. I alsao have the pictures thanks to my sister. I also fgound out my plastic surgery specalized in hand surgery not breast surgery and have later talked to many women who has had bad expriencing with this doctor for breast surgery. I am currntly going to the doctor with pain, and uti infection, and my stomach does not eliminate my food properly and I sometime have to take raglan to empty my stomach and this medicine interferes with the citroplam, and lorazepram I had to get on in order to be able to take test that require me to have to use a machine for the test. I do appreciate being alive even though my standard of living has decline. But I am also tired of suffering. I work in a prison and this is hard along with my health problems. I need help and I need a doctor who will listen and knows how to fix my problem and a lawyer that may also be able to help me. I have also been dianosed with PTSD. Inned help and I don’t know where to turn. I trust and believe in God and I know there is help out there some where.

I had an umbilical hernia repair and I am not sure what mesh they put in me. I have had problems with my stomach for years now. I was in and out of the hospital for stomach pain that they kept saying was irritable bowel movement. I eventually had my gall bladder taken out.. that didn’t help… then I had a total hysterectomy with salpingo oophorectomy…that eased some of the pain.. but my stomach pain is still there.. every so often i get this horrible pain in my right side… shoots up and around .. can’t move.. feels ugly.. It tends to come when i am going to put my pants on.. the angle i am in i guess.. I also have a hard time holding my pee in. I hate that. I am 39, have two children and have to worry about peeing or not being able to control my bowel movement. I would of loved more children and that really makes me sad. I have no idea if after my hysterectomy they inserted a mesh or not but i have no feeling in my lower abdomen, the scar is like one associated with a CSection. How do i find out if I have one of these recalled mesh inside me… can i get it taken out.. and is it been that all this time.. could i have really been misdiagnosed. I was 30 when i had my hysterectomy, that has been hard for me.

Dear Kim I am sorry for ur sister and I feel for u and her. Most people exsplain their symptoms to Doctors in many ways, however if the evidence of symptoms are seen with the naked eye it is a problem and must be addressed by a professional. I am recovering from my 3rd hernia repair which surgery was done on the 17th of september 2012. I to have problem with mesh that have been put in my body to help the problem of hernia but seems to make some matters worse with the side affects of mesh usage in the abdomen and other areas in which ur surgeon feels it is needed. I will need another surgery at some point to remove the old mesh that attached itself to a muscle so my surgeon was unable to remove it 9 days ago it is frustrating to feel u r not heard and most people no their bodies and the changes that occur over the years. what I would suggest is for u and ur sister to seek help from a University Hospital with specialists and students who will look at all the symptoms and will try to help u and relieve the problems u r having times r tough people out of work no Insurance I am not sure that ur Doctors r more worried about class action suits toward them as u know the manufacturer is the one responsible for the things put out on the market they also r the ones who show surgeons how it is used and this is all the Medical field can go by until there becomes problem with the manufacturers product. I have felt all emotions most of u have posted however I truly still want to believe that the Physcian still stands by his or her oath to do no harm and to strive to heal all that r in need of their care and service, if we lose faith in our health care as of these days I can see and understand the lack of faith in the care that u recieve u still must hang on to the faith that all will turn out best for each individual that r having problrms from mesh or any other issues from foreign things in the body. Please check out ur state for a University clinics and Doctors and see if u can recieve thecare for ur sister God Bless and hope all works out and she will b helped and healed and pain free.

my sister has had 4 or 5 surgeries with the mesh. In the last few years she’s literally had and now much worse has these fibers coming out of her whole body. She’s having a terrible time getting the dr. to believe her. Noe she’s to the point where she has almost no hair and she has terrible sores with this stuff shooting out of her body everywhere and I mean EVERYWHERE! She too has a huge ball in her stomach. I honestly believe she is going to die. Its like they are suffacating her skin then she will accidently hit her hand or whatever and these fibers shoot across the room! I can’t beleive these drs. are more worried about a class action suit than saving her life. She can’t find anyone to help her and I’m sure if she does’nt off herself from the horrible pain first she won’t be here much longer. Can anyone hepl?

had Bard kuegel mesh placed in my abdomen after failed hernia repair, three mos after surgery was unable to eat any type of food without getting sick. Went to see a gastroenterologist and was told first i was lactose intolerant, that test was negative; then i was told i was lutent intolerant that test was negative; during this time i started to also have severe painful bowel movements then i was told i had an autoimmune disease called Chrones disease’;tested for Chrones that was negative. It was at this time i started to figure out that my before i was admitted to the hospital i already had an autoimmune disease called hashimoto’s thyroiditis that my body was trying to reject the mesh and it was making me sick. I called the manufacturer and was told it should have never been placed in my body. Now it is twelve mos later and i have been deathly ill ever since have lived on doulbe antibiotics fevers everyday from 99.6 to 102.7 for the last six mos no lawyer will take the case without a piece of the mesh and no doctors want to operate due to the chronic infectionj where is our protection!Where is our help i no i am goung to die in the next year from the cronic infection why are they allowing bard and the doctors still putting these products in cvonsumers bodies when it is deadly!!!!!!

Was told in February that I had an umbilical hernia and needed to have it repaired immediately. The doctor told me that he would make 1 or 2 small incisions and that would be it……Same day surgery. Well, when I woke up from the surgery, I had 8 incisions and was in excruciating pain. I was told that the mesh was 19inx21in. I went home and the daily pain was unbelievable. I lost my job because I could not return back to work after 2 weeks. As of today, 7/29/12, I still have pain, I can’t bend down properly, I get pulling sensations when I move certain ways, have trouble sleeping….It’s been a nightmare. I am also a single mom. I can’t get to a doctor because I no longer have insurance, due to loss of job. I don’t know what type of mesh that was used and also don’t know what to do. Any suggestions would be much appreciated

I had a double hernia repair in November 1994 in which Ethicon Prolene Hernia Mesh was used. In 1996 a piece broke off and punctured my bladder the size of a quarter. In 2001 the mesh became entangled and my colon was twisted around it. In 2003, while lifting thirty pound boxes at work, my intestines dropped down into three different sections of the mesh. I was told that I had another hernia, but it turned out to be a triple blockage and I had to have a foot of my colon removed. I became obstructed from the surgery and developed two abcesses. This one surgery cost me six additional surgeries and lots of complications. If anyone knows of an attorney handling cases prior to the year 2000, involving the Ethicon Prolene Hernia Mesh, please let me know.
