Hernia Mesh Removal Surgery May Be Too Dangerous, Lawsuit Alleges February 14, 2017 Irvin Jackson Add Your Comments Although a North Carolina man has suffered painful and debilitating complications after an Atrium C-Qur patch was implanted to repair an umbilical hernia, a product liability lawsuit filed recently against the manufacturer indicates that his doctors are reluctant to perform hernia mesh removal surgery, as it would be a very dangerous procedure. The complaint (PDF) was filed by Elbern H. Perrine in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of North Carolina, indicating that Atrium Medical Corporation, Maquet Cardiovascular US Sales, LLC, and Getinge AB sold a defectively designed and manufactured hernia patch, which was not safe for use during hernia repair, posed unreasonable risks that outweighed any potential benefits associated with the unique design. Perrine had an 8.9cm x 8.9cm patch of Atrium C-Qur mesh implanted in his body in May 2010, during an umbilical hernia repair. By July 2012, the lawsuit indicates that he began to suffer abdominal pain, and was admitted to the hospital where it was discovered that he was suffering a partial bowel obstruction in the area of his prior hernia repair. Following an EGD and colonoscopy, Perrine was diagnosed with a hiatal hernia. In 2014, Perrine experienced further problems, resulting in additional surgery for multiple adhesions to the abdominal wall. Hernia Mesh Lawsuits Did you or a loved one receive a hernia mesh? Hernia mesh lawsuits are being filed against Bard, Atrium, Covidien and several other hernia mesh manufacturers over mesh failures resulting in injuries and additional surgery.

Hernia mesh lawsuits are being filed against Bard, Atrium, Covidien and several other hernia mesh manufacturers over mesh failures resulting in injuries and additional surgery. Learn More SEE IF YOU QUALIFY FOR COMPENSATION The lawsuit indicates that his surgeons now advise that due to complications caused by Atrium C-Qur, the hernia mesh needs to be removed. However, his current surgeon is reluctant to perform any additional surgical procedures as a result of the serious nature of the problems Perrine has suffered. As a result, he has been left with daily chronic pain, and indicates that he will require ongoing future treatments. “As a result of the defective design and/or manufacture of the C-Qur mesh, there was an unreasonable risk of severe adverse reactions to the mesh or mesh components including: chronic pain; recurrence of hernia; foreign body response; rejection; infection; inadequate or failure of incorporation/in growth; scarification; improper wound healing; excessive and chronic inflammation; allergic reaction; adhesions to internal organs; erosion; abscess; fistula formation; granulomatous response; seroma formation; nerve damage; tissue damage and/or death; and other complications, including the inability to remove the C-Qur mesh absent serious injury or death,” according to the complaint. The case joins a growing number of Atrium C-Qur mesh lawsuits filed in courts throughout the U.S., each raising similar claims that Atrium knew or should have known about the risk of problems associated with the hernia patch and large number of adverse events reported. However, the manufacturer has not issued any warnings or any official Atrium C-Qur recalls, instead choosing to withhold information from consumers and quietly remove certain products from the market. Given the similar questions of fact and law raised in dozens of cases filed throughout the federal court system, the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) decided to consolidate all lawsuits filed against Atrium last month, centralizing claims before U.S. District Judge Landya McCafferty in the District of New Hampshire, for coordinated pretrial proceedings. Perrine’s complaint and additional Atrium C-Qur cases filed in U.S. District Courts nationwide will be transferred to Judge McCafferty, for coordinated handling during discovery and a series of early “bellwether” trials in the MDL, which are designed to gauge how juries are likely to respond to certain evidence and testimony that is likely to be repeated throughout the litigation. However, if Atrium C-Qur hernia mesh settlements or another resolution is not reached following the MDL proceedings, each individual case may be remanded back to the U.S. District Court where it was originally filed for a separate trial date.

It evidently was near the sphinter muscle which was closing off while I was trying to eat, and was causing me to vomit because food would go all the way down. My primary care doctor sent me to a gastrointestinal surgeon who advised I needed the surgery. Following the surgery I knew it was impossible to throw up. However, I couldnt even get sips of water to stay down. Following the next three months I spent roughly 30 days in and out of the hospital. I finally told the hospital I wasn’t going back home until they could figure out what was wrong. I had a different surgeon come in to see me. He said that there was something wrong with the mesh that had been used previously. I ended up having a second surgery and that doctor did not use mesh. On rare occasions, I still deal with some reflux, and as long as it stays above the sphinter muscle I can bring it back up. Both surgeries was called Nissan fundoplication. Jaime June 21, 2017 I’m facing having mesh removed from a previous belly button hernia surgery and I’m scared. Anyone had this done? Natalie April 25, 2019 I’m a very healthy athletic female who had a fatal experience with mesh implant. In 2012, I went to a very well known plastic surgeon worldwide in Egypt to do a Revision Rhinoplasty to repair a collapsed Of nose tip and he said that he’ll use my ear cartilage but he inserted mersilene mesh implant into my nose instead and made my nose so big. I paid him $ 3000 He refused to tell me what he did to my nose. After one year of the surgery, I asked him to remove the mesh implant but he gave me a consent to be signs full of risks and complications so I got scared of what was written and he said that he may remove the mesh leaving me with no nose because he rasped most of my bones nose to put the mesh implant. I stayed 7 years with that mesh implant and It changed my life completely as if I’ve lived in hell!; in 2014, I had osteopenia and fracture in shoulder and weakness in Legs muscles and nerves damaged in both hands and feet that I couldn’t be able to walk for one year and My brain forgot how to walk normally. I had a feeling that as if I was burnt in fire! It was hell I was going through that I wanted to die cause I couldn’t stand the pain. I stayed in that situation for almost one year and I’ve tried everything to come back to life again including holistic médecines, physiotherapy, electric shock to repair my nerves in feet and after 2 years I came back to life gradually and I was totally normal but discovered that I had Ostepenia in spinal cord, high cholestrol that doesn’t go down even with severe diet, bloating and severe pain in stomach whoever I eat anything, constant vaginal infection every couple of months, severe back pain, Rheumatoid, etc. I realized that something wrong with me and I have some research to discover that mesh implant is the reason behind my health problems. In December 2018, I contacted the plastic surgeon who inserted that mesh implant and asked him to remove it due to my health issues but for over 3 months on emails trying to convince me that mesh is innocent and has nothing to do with what I have stating that he will not reconstruct my nose after mesh removal and I said ok begging him to do and took a date on end of March which was 4 Months after my request. I met my surgeon 2 weeks prior my surgery and he treated me in a very bad way giving me the consent to be signed which was written that he may use alloplasts synthetic implant to repair nose so U got scared and I told him that I will pay him $3000 (50,000EGP) so he can reconstruct my nose with ear cartilage grafts when remove the mesh implant. On March 27th, i did the surgery after signing the consent with the mesh risks and complications. It’s been a month now since my surgery, he made my nose huge but all my concern now is to be mesh free and not to have any remaining mesh into my nose. I’m waiting to complete 6 months to make an ultrasound to make sure I’m mesh free as the surgeon is refusing to give me any operative report stating that it will make me more worried!!!! His words made me extremely worried specifically that he treated me in a very rude way after taking all my fortune. That’s my story with mersilene mesh implant that was inserted into my body without my knowledge. I m still alive but I have head numbness and vertigo. I m still unbalanced when walking; hoping to be ok in the near future. Many thanks for reading me!
