If you suffered complications after hernia mesh surgery and required a second operation, you may qualify for a hernia mesh lawsuit.
At Salenger, Sack, Kimmel & Bavaro, LLP, we are actively reviewing claims involving defective non-biologic hernia mesh products manufactured by companies such as Bard, Ethicon, Atrium, and Covidien (Medtronic).
Our legal team focuses on cases involving mesh failure, revision surgery, and documented complications—not just minor post-surgical issues.

Most active lawsuits allege that manufacturers designed and marketed unsafe mesh products that led to avoidable complications and repeat surgeries.
As of March 2026, Hernia mesh litigation remains active across multiple MDLs and state courts.
Recent outcomes include:
While some manufacturers have settled, new claims—especially involving revision surgeries—continue to be filed, particularly against Covidien/Medtronic mesh products.
Patients implanted with these Covidien/Medtronic hernia mesh products have reported serious complications, fueling ongoing hernia mesh lawsuits. Common complications include:
Chronic pain and inflammation
Bowel obstruction or perforation
Mesh migration to other organs
Fistulas and adhesions
Seromas (fluid buildup)
Infection and tissue rejection
Nerve damage or burning sensation
Organ perforation
These complications often require revision surgery, which may involve mesh removal, further recovery time, and long-term health risks.
If you or a loved one has experienced health complications due your hernia mesh, don’t wait to seek legal help.
