Hernia Mesh Lawsuits: Case Details, Side Effects, and Complaints

Surgical hernia repairs are common, and more than one million hernia repairs are performed in the U.S. each year. Hernias have a high rate of recurrence and surgeons use mesh to strengthen the hernia repair and reduce the recurrence rate after repair.
