Wrongful Use of AlloDerm
Going under general anesthesia for a surgery is a frightful thought for many people. A patient is out of control and must completely trust their doctor or surgeon to make the best medical decision for them. Because a patient is not typically able to make a decision during a surgical procedure, it is important to have open communication with your doctor about the exact products, techniques, and methods that will be used during your medical procedure.
In most cases, your doctor will make the decision that is best for your health and well-being, but these doctors can commit errors. Unfortunately, errors during surgery can have a severely adverse effect upon your health. If your surgery involved the improper use of AlloDerm, a tissue matrix product, you may be entitled to seek financial compensation.

Use of AlloDerm without Consent
As part of our modern healthcare system, to ensure that patients are sufficiently aware of the risks and actions associated with a particular procedure, doctors must obtain informed consent. If a healthcare professional uses AlloDerm against your wishes or without properly informing you of the risks, then a medical malpractice lawsuit might be in your best interest. This tissue matrix product has been linked to a disturbing increase in hernia recurrence for patients. The following painful consequences might arise:
- Abscess
- Inflammation and swelling
- Infection
- Necessitate further surgical procedures
