The following was alleged by the patient's attorney: (b)(6) 2016: the patient was implanted with a bard/davol ventralex mesh(device #1) for the repair of an umbilical hernia.Ni/ni/ 2017: the patient underwent removal surgery and upon entering the abdominal cavity, the patient's surgeon noted that the bard/davol ventralex mesh had failed and removed the mesh.At the same time as the ventralex mesh(device #1) was removed, the surgeon implanted a bard/davol phasix mesh in an attempt to repair the recurring umbilical hernia that was aggravated and caused by the initial mesh repair surgery.The patient is experiencing abdominal pain, bloating, and is limited in her mobility due to her injuries from the bard/davol ventralex mesh (device #1).The patient has suffered pain, neuropathy, fistula, scarring and intestinal blockage and will continue to suffer physical pain and mental anguish from her hernia mesh surgery.As a result of having the bard/davol ventralex mesh (device #1) implanted, the patient has experienced significant mental and physical pain and suffering and mental anguish, has sustained permanent injury, has undergone medical treatment and will likely undergo further medical treatment and procedures due to the alleged defective ventralex mesh (device #1).
