The patient¿s attorney alleged a deficiency against the device.
The product was used for therapeutic treatment of ventral/incisional hernia.
It was reported that after implant, the patient experienced recurrence, bleeding out severe enough to be life threatening, hypertrophic scarring, obliteration of the umbilicus, scar tissue, adhesions, failure of mesh, physical deformity, mesh erosion, mesh contraction, infection, fistula, inflammation, organ perforation, dyspareunia, neuropathy, nerve damage, pain, open wound, foreign body reaction, necrotic fat, large diastasis and mental anguish.
Post-operative patient treatment included revision surgery, excision of mesh, excision of scar tissue, release of adhesions, repair of hernia, bilateral rectus abdominus advancement flaps, fasciocutaneous flap advancement, wound vac, excision of hypertrophic thinned scar area overlying hernia sac and pain control and open wound was debrided with excision of skin, soft tissue and necrotic fat.

The patient's attorney alleged a deficiency against the device resulting in an unspecified adverse outcome.
Product was used for therapeutic treatment.
The patient was implanted with mesh in an attempt to repair an incisional hernia.
The patient underwent an additional surgery approximately 3 months post op after the incision from her hernia repair broke open and she began to bleed out.
The bleeding was severe enough to be considered life threatening.
During the surgery it was noted that the upper portion of the mesh was "relatively" incorporated, however the lower portion was loose.
The lower portion was completely excised during this surgery and sent to pathology.
Approximately 1 year and 6 months post op the patient underwent another surgery to repair an abdominal wall hernia recurrence with hypertrophic scarring, obliteration of the umbilicus and a large reducible hernia.
This procedure included the excision of a significant amount of scar tissue and the release of multiple adhesions.
The mesh failed, causing serious injury and portions of the mesh had to be surgically removed via invasive surgery, and necessitated an additional invasive surgery to repair the hernia that the mesh was initially implanted to treat.
The patient suffered and will continue to suffer both physical injury and pain and mental anguish, permanent and severe scarring.
The patient has suffered permanent injury and permanent and substantial physical deformity.
The patient sustained injuries including, but not limited to mesh erosion, mesh contraction, infection, fistula, inflammation, scar tissue, organ perforation, recurrence, dyspareunia, blood loss, neuropathic and other acute and chronic nerve damage and pain, requiring patient to undergo intensive medical treatment, including but not limited to operations to locate and remove mesh, operations to attempt to repair organs, tissue, and nerve damage, the use of pain control and other medications.
