About hernia mesh complications
Hernia mesh complications can be severe, and in some cases they can be permanent. Common problems people can suffer from can include:
- Pain, which on some cases can be chronic pain;
- Problems with mobility;
- Organ damage – obstruction or perforation;
- Scar tissue causing an inflammatory response (known as adhesions);
- Hernia relapsing.
As a patient, being forced to suffer when something has gone wrong isn’t fair. And that’s why we take compensation claims forward for people in England and Wales who fit our eligibility criteria.
When can you claim?
All invasive medical procedure come with inherent risks, so claiming compensation for hernia mesh complications comes down to whether we can establish any negligence.
With previous figures indicating the risk of complications can be as high as 30%, advice to patients must be clear and must be thorough. If you weren’t offered more suitable alternatives, or if the risk weren’t fully explained to you, you may have a legal case to make.
Good follow-up care is key as well. As we’ve seen from the many issues surrounding the use of vaginal mesh, there are concerns about the safety of hernia mesh and the quality of the care that is being provided to patients.
