Hernia Repair
Several manufacturers of various hernia repair patches have been subject to Food and Drug Administration recall. Even patches that have not been recalled often have defects in them causing severe injury and even death to patients. If you or a loved one have had a hernia repair, and subsequently had to have a second surgery to remove or replace the hernia patch, you may be entitled to substantial monetary compensation from the manufacturer of the patch. Even if you have suffered no long term complications after the second surgery, you still may be entitled to substantial compensation. Any person who has had a second hernia surgery to remove a defective patch may have a claim, but persons who have suffered any of the following are very likely to have a claim:
- Bowel obstruction
- Intestinal fistulae
- Bowel perforation
- Serious infection
- Second surgeries
- Removal of hernia patch
- Replacement of hernia patch
