While some hernias are minor and may cause no discomfort, others are quite serious and may cause considerable pain and require immediate medical attention. Surgical hernia repair is one possible way to address a serious hernia, typically with the use of patches or plugs. If hernia mesh is itself defective or is improperly implanted, however, it can cause more harm than good. Pain, infection, and organ perforation are just a few of the potential side effects of hernia mesh.
Portner & Shure is currently taking on cases involving hernia mesh injuries for patients across Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C. who have suffered adverse side effects after a surgical hernia repair. If you or someone you love has experienced any type of harm associated with hernia mesh, we can help you understand your options and your right to take legal action.
