Common hernia mesh complications can include:

• Pain, which can be chronic;
• Relapses of the hernia;

• Scar tissue that can trigger an inflammatory response.

Claim hernia mesh compensation

You may be eligible to make a claim for personal injury compensation if you’re suffering with hernia mesh problems. If the problems were preventable, there may be a case to answer.

Factors that we consider when we assess a claim can include:

• Whether alternatives were fully explored and could have been offered;
• What (if any) follow-up care, advice and treatment was in place;
• Whether the risks were fully explained and advised.

If any of the above potentially apply to your situation, you may have a claim. We can also investigate whether the surgery was suitable for you, and whether the surgery was carried out with the reasonable care and skill required.

More needs to be done

These kinds of devices and the surgery can be complicated. With so many people suffering with hernia mesh complications, it’s clear to us that more needs to be done to investigate the problems and ensure patients are safe.
