FAQs
How do I identify my mesh?
Ask your surgeon or hospital for the operative report and implant stickers; they list brand and lot numbers.
Do I need revision surgery to file?
Not always, but documented complications and physician opinions strengthen your claim.
Is this a class action?
Most mesh matters are individual claims coordinated in MDL for efficiency.
Do I Have a Case?
You may qualify if you had a hernia repair using mesh and later experienced complications such as chronic pain, recurrence, infection, bowel obstruction, adhesions, erosion, mesh rupture, nerve damage, seroma, fistula, abscess—or your doctor recommended/performed revision or explant surgery.
