Hernia mesh recipients who have been implanted with the Aspide Surgimesh WN or the Surgimesh XB from 2006 to the present may be at risk of associated injury and revision surgeries.

Common complications reported in defective hernia mesh injury include poor reactions to the mesh devices, chronic pain, bowel blockage, bowel obstruction, fistula, seroma, granuloma, infection, adhesions and recurrent hernia.

Mesh implants strengthen weak or damaged tissue, and according to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), hernia mesh devices are used in about 90 percent of hernia repair procedures.

Hernias are a common medical condition problem that may require surgery to eliminate a number of painful symptoms, though defective mesh devices can create whole new host of health problems. Patients implanted with Aspide hernia mesh products may risk infection, adhesions, granuloma, seroma, fistula, hernia recurrence and revision surgery.

Joe Lyon is an experienced Cincinnati, Ohio product liability lawyer and Mesh implant Attorney representing plaintiffs nationwide in Aspide Surgimesh injury claims.

what are the different types of hernias?
  • Inguinal: occurs in the inner groin. The most common of abdominal hernias. Sometimes muscles that attach to the pelvis leave a weakened area and if there is a stress placed on that area, the weakened tissues can allow a portion of small bowel to slide through that opening, causing pain and producing a bulge. Inguinal hernias are more likely to occur in men.
  • Femoral: occurs in the upper thigh/outer groin. Femoral hernias tend to occur more frequently in women.
  • Incisional: occurs through an incision or scar in the abdomen. Incisional hernias occur as a complication of abdominal surgery, where the abdominal muscles are cut to allow the surgeon to enter the abdominal cavity to operate.
  • Ventral: occurs in the general abdominal/ventral wall
  • Umbilical: occurs at the belly button and are very common in newborns and often do not need treatment unless complications occur. Some umbilical hernias enlarge and may require repair later in life.
  • Hiatal: occurs inside the abdomen, along the upper stomach/diaphragm
  • Obturator: the least common hernia of the pelvic floor, mostly found in women who have had multiple pregnancies or who have lost significant weight.
