Hernia Mesh Causing Harm to Recipients

Hernia Mesh Causing Harm to Recipients
Calendar icon February 2, 2022

Hernias occur when a part of an internal organ or tissue bulges through a weak area of the overlying muscle. Hernia surgery is among the most common surgeries performed and each year thousands of Americans undergo hernia repair. To effectively repair hernias, surgeons employ a variety of methods — including the use of synthetic meshes. Synthetic meshes are used in 90% of hernia surgeries to strengthen a hernia repair and to lessen the chance of recurrence. There are currently over 50 different types of synthetic meshes used by surgeons. Different manufacturers produce meshes that vary in material, thickness, additives, and manufacturing techniques.

 

Unfortunately, a significant number of hernia repair patients develop medical complications reportedly related to some of the commonly used polypropylene and other mesh products. Certain mesh products have been linked to chronic pain, inflammation, infection, weakening of surrounding tissue, adherence to underlying organs, rejection, mesh failure, and hernia recurrence.

 

In addition, some synthetic meshes have been reported to change shape after being implanted or to migrate from their implanted location, causing damage to surrounding organs. Serious complications can include bowel perforation, bowel obstruction, scarring, adhesions, fistulas, abscesses, and widespread infection even leading to death. Hernia mesh complications can occur early after surgery or years later and may require extensive treatment including additional surgeries.

 

Dozens of hernia mesh products have already been recalled by both the FDA and voluntarily by the manufacturers due to these reported complications. Brands including Atrium, Bard, Ethicon, and others have recalled some of their mesh product lines.

 

If you or a loved one have suffered from complications after hernia mesh surgery, call the attorneys at Cellino Law. It is not necessary for you to know the specific mesh used — our team of experienced attorneys will identify your mesh product and fight for your rights to ensure that you and your family get the justice that you deserve.

    • Choosing the right attorney to represent you after an accident can make all the difference. This is no cliche. I recently experienced these words to live by first hand. After a tractor trailer rear ended me at high speed in 2017 I retained Allan Silverstein to handle my case. I quickly realized that bringing a lawsuit rapidly snowballs into a mountain of details that can make or break your results. Documents, case histories, doctor visits, bills, and lots of phone calls all need to be accurately kept track of if a successful outcome it to be attained. To complicate matters I reside in New York and the incident took place in New Jersey. Luckily, Allan was licensed in multiple states. I was fortunate to find Allan to handle this matter from the New York area. Armed with an accurate account of the facts Allan went to work on the difficult job of negotiating with the defending insurance company as well as my no fault carrier in order to obtain the best possible outcome for my set of circumstances. In a lawsuit communication is key and and events can be of a timely nature. Allan never failed to return my calls - usually the same day! He fought skillfully and respectfully to get me the best possible settlement. He is easy to deal with and a likeable down to earth guy. He always listened with compassion and respect to my issues. He guided me with objective understanding as well as a realistic analysis of the merits of my case. When we finally settled Allan got me a fair agreement beyond my expectations and negotiated with my doctors to make sure all my bills were paid. It was a great experience having Allan represent me. Quality work in any aspect of life is hard to find. Quality is what I got with Allan Silverstein. I highly recommend him if you find yourself in need of a personal injury attorney.

    • This letter is to thank Ms. Diane D’Andrea, assistant to Mr. George Gridelli, Attny for all the hard work, dedication, and attentiveness she showed during the representation of my case. She was always cheerful and ready to help in whatever way she could. All messages left for Mr. Gridelli were always relayed and Mr. Gridelli always promptly returned our calls. She was a very competent assistant. Cellino Law has proven to be a model of what legal representation should be. Throughout the 6 ½ years of this case, I have heard many horror stories from people with “bad lawyer stories.” We consider ourselves to be very lucky to have chosen Cellino Law and will always recommend you to those looking for good, honest representation with a personal touch.

    • Cellino Law and more specifically my attorney, Gregory V. Pajak, Managing Attorney, and as a whole the Cellino Law Firm and its organization. This is by far one of the most professional law firms and attorney I have ever engaged with and retained in my 35 years. The level of professionalism goes beyond words, the care and constant engagement with me as the client was touching. I was never ever just treated as simply a CASE with potentially a significant dollar number attached to my file. I was engaged regularly, Tracey (Ass’t) and Greg always made sure to remain constant, as well as consistent in overseeing that my case was handled properly and that it did matter in many ways - ensuring that the end result(s) would be fair and reasonable to my case/injury. The regular follow-up calls were very satisfying, knowing that you’re involved in your case matters significantly AND always. One of my main items to recognize Cellino Law and Gregory is that whenever I called, I was able to get through to speak directly to my Lawyer and he would answer any if not all of my questions in a very professional and genuinely caring manner. I always felt cared for and protected legally and more importantly, I was made feel as a human being that was being cared for and always keeping me abreast of all matters connected to the case. There was never a point I felt let down, on the contrary -the level of service was “STELLAR”. Greg is the consummate professional, a ‘role model’, if you will, for what other attorneys should strive to become when dealing with their clients.
