Approximately one million hernia repair surgeries are completed each year in the United States, according to the Federal Drug Administration (FDA).
Common Reasons for Hernia Repairs
Surgical mesh is commonly used in hernia repair surgeries. In fact, surgical mesh is used in over 90 percent of groin-area hernia repairs, per the FDA. This mesh can be beneficial in many ways, as it can limit complications and speed recovery time.
However, complications can still occur with these surgeries. Some patients may have pain, infection, or even a recurrence of their hernia. Sometimes, these complications can be linked to defective mesh implants. You can speak with a Lafayette personal injury lawyer to help you pursue compensation.
