The evidence
The FDA lists pain, infection, hernia recurrence, adhesion, bowel obstruction, mesh migration, and mesh shrinkage among the most common reported problems. It also lists additional surgery among the most frequently reported complications. Some hernia mesh products have been recalled or withdrawn from the market.
Lawsuits allege that manufacturers knew about problems with certain mesh designs and sold them anyway. Thousands of patients have filed claims. Courts have consolidated many hernia mesh lawsuits to manage the cases. For our review, the key fact is whether another operation to remove, replace, revise, or repair the mesh was completed or formally scheduled.
Where things stand
Each person brings a claim based on their own surgery, product, injuries, and records. If we take your case, our legal team gathers the records, identifies the mesh when possible, and handles the legal process while keeping you informed. You do not need to know the manufacturer to start.
Important: finishing the questionnaire does not mean we have accepted your case. Deadlines vary by state and can pass quickly. Acting now can protect your options, and the review costs nothing.
Do you have a case?
You may qualify if hernia mesh was implanted in 2017 or later and you completed another surgery, or are formally scheduled for one, to remove, replace, revise, or repair it. Not sure? The review is free.

Common questions
We look for an operation that removed, replaced, revised, or repaired the hernia mesh, or a formally scheduled operation to do one of those things. A recommendation without a scheduled procedure does not meet the current screen.
Most people don't, and that's normal. The brand name is in your operative report and your implant card, and we can help you request those records. These are the products most often named in the current litigation.
Bard & Davol. Now owned by Becton Dickinson. Ventralight ST; Ventralex ST; 3DMax and 3DMax Light; PerFix Plug and PerFix Light Plug; Composix E/X and Composix Kugel; Sepramesh IP.
Covidien. A Medtronic company. Symbotex Composite Mesh; Parietex Composite; Parietex ProGrip; Parietex Optimized Composite; other Parietex coated meshes.
We are looking for people who had a second operation, or are formally scheduled for one, to remove, replace, revise, or repair the mesh. The original implant alone does not qualify under the cases we are reviewing now.
No. A complication alone does not prove that a product was defective. We review your surgery history, records, and other facts to find out whether we may be able to help.
Nothing up front. We work on a contingency fee, which means you pay no attorney fee unless we win. If we offer representation, the written agreement spells out fees and costs before you sign anything.
Deadlines vary by state and by when the surgery happened. They can pass quickly. Reaching out early can protect your options, and the review is free.
Most hernia mesh claims resolve without the client testifying at trial. If we represent you, our legal team handles the legal process and keeps you informed at every step.
