Designed to resolve the painful and problematic issues following a hernia, hernia mesh is a form of medical device that has been used in UK healthcare for a number of years. Yet despite its widespread use, hernia mesh has – according to figures from the Royal College of Surgeons \u2013 reportedly been found to cause chronic pain in as many as one in ten patients. Chronic pain from hernia mesh can present affected patients with a number of everyday challenges that can be hard to overcome.<\/p>\n

The statistics can be alarming, perhaps suggesting widespread concerns that may affect many patients. Many patients may be worried about such issues, and left wondering how such harm was allowed to occur. A similar trend has occurred across patients with pelvic\/vaginal mesh implants, suggesting that this type of medical device could be unsafe and unfit for purpose in some cases.<\/p>\n

As specialists in consumer group actions and medical negligence claims, we want to help patients who have been unfairly harmed by hernia mesh, as we believe they may have been victims of negligence. If the errors of a medical professional have caused you undue pain, you may be able to claim compensation for any harm caused<\/strong>.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Problems with chronic pain from hernia mesh
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Chronic pain from hernia mesh can emerge almost immediately after surgery, or much further down the line in some cases. The causes of the pain can vary from person to person, but it can arise due to a reaction to the implant or damage to surrounding tissue. Problems that arise can cause serious issues for patients.<\/p>\n

Where any pain is recurrent and is affecting a patient\u2019s life for months or even years, it could be classed as chronic.<\/p>\n

Potential mistreatment and negligence<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Given how severely hernia mesh could harm patients in some cases, many people have questioned how it has been so widely approved by medical product regulators and medical practitioners. Whilst the use of vaginal mesh was previously under a sort of suspension here in the UK, hernia mesh surgery has continued. Although there are other forms of hernia repair surgery, some patients may be undergoing mesh repair as opposed to more suitable alternatives.<\/p>\n

When considering the possibility that medical negligence has caused chronic pain from hernia mesh, we may be able to establish a link between the action (or the perhaps inaction) of a medical professional and the complications that you have suffered. This may consist of surgical errors during the mesh implantation procedure, or it may be that there has been some failure to give you advice about the risks of mesh surgery, or even a failure to diagnose or treat your chronic pain from hernia mesh. Any treatment that shows an avoidable disregard for your health and well-being could be considered if you seek legal advice from us.<\/p>\n

Making a compensation claim <\/strong><\/h3>\n

As specialists in group action claims, we have taken on cases in some of the biggest medical product scandals, including the PIP breast implants scandal in which we have recovered over \u00a31.3m in damages for our claimants to date. We are determined to use our expertise in group actions and medical negligence claims to achieve justice for victims of hernia mesh complications. As such, if you believe you have been affected by negligent treatment, please do not hesitate to contact us for free, no-obligation advice on your potential claim here now.<\/a> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
