Mobile Hernia Mesh Injury Lawyer
Hernia Mesh devices such as Physiomesh, Kugel and others have used by doctors for a number of years to repair hernias ‐ primarily in patients’ abdominal areas. Hernias occur when a person’s intestine or organ protrudes through
the adjacent muscle or other tissue, often due to strain or muscle weakness. These are often repaired by surgically placing a mesh plug or patch over the protrusion to cover or reinforce the damaged area. Some 700,000 hernia mesh surgeries are performed each year.
