Incisional Hernias
Hernias are painful, no matter the cause. Whether a hernia develops from over-exertion while lifting a heavy object, or from forceful cough, the pain can be debilitating. Pain from a hernia can often be felt with every step and with every motion from sitting to standing. But hernias can be particularly painful and frustrating when they occur at the site of another abdominal surgery.
Hernias are painful conditions that can only be repaired through invasive and uncomfortable surgical procedures. If you have experienced a painful reoccurring hernia in which a faulty medical product may have been a factor, please contact the AlloDerm failure lawyers at Williams Kherkher by calling 800-761-3187 for a free case evaluation.
Hernias Through Past Incisions
If you have already had a surgical procedure that involved your abdominal cavity, you know both the physical and financial cost that these types of procedures bring with them. The pain of a hernia is only aggravated by the expensive medical bill that is associated with its repair. Incisional hernias, like other types of hernias, occur at weak spots in the abdominal lining, creating a painful bulge of intestine that is caught in the opening.
An incisional hernia is different from other types of hernias because it occurs through the site of a medical incision that was caused by a previous surgical operation. The following procedures are susceptible to incisional hernias:
- Initial inguinal hernias repaired with AlloDerm
- Surgery to remove peritoneal mesothelioma
- Intestinal surgery
- Vascular surgery
Incisional hernias have been seen as hernia reoccurrences in patients whose initial hernia procedure involved the use of AlloDerm.
