Hernia Mesh Lawyers in El Paso & Las Cruces

For over a decade, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has warned some hernia mesh manufacturers about the reported dangers of their products, and have issued recalls on certain brands that were causing more harm than good to those who underwent hernia mesh surgery.
At the Ruhmann Law Firm, our El Paso & Las Cruces hernia mesh attorneys are answering important questions from clients who have been negatively affected by their hernia mesh implants.
The largest question being, what happens if I have been implanted with a hernia mesh product that has been recalled? And, what can I do if I am suffering from severe injuries that resulted from my hernia mesh implant?
Our El Paso & Las Cruces hernia mesh injury attorneys have the experience our clients require to take on corporate medical device companies who have caused their injuries, so we can pursue the best financial outcome for each of our client’s unique needs.

How Many People Have Hernia Surgeries Throughout the United States?

Medical reports list more than one million hernia surgeries occur each year throughout the country. While not all these cases required hernia mesh implants, the medical devices are a common solution for patients who undergo these procedures.

Why Is Hernia Mesh Surgery Necessary?

Hernias occur when fatty tissue, intestines, or organs are forced through a weak spot in connective tissue or muscle in the abdomen, stomach, and inner or outer groin.
Common hernia causes can include increases in abdominal pressure from:

  • Diarrhea or constipation
  • Lifting heavy objects
  • Obesity
  • Overexertion
  • Persistent coughing or sneezing
  • Poor nutrition
  • Smoking

The only way to permanently fix a hernia is with surgery. Before the introduction of hernia mesh devices, sutures were used to close the area where the injury occurred. This solution often resulted in the recurrence of a hernia.
Hernia mesh medical devices were designed to be stitched into the part of the body where the injury occurred to reinforce the weak tissue and minimize recurring injuries and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Mesh is now used in more than 50% of all hernia surgeries, and its long-term consequences often outweigh its original purpose.

  • Buildup of fluid around the repair
  • Fever, nausea, and vomiting
  • Fluid build-up near the surgical site
