My husband had hernia surgery with this BARD medium patch and the surgeon used staples to hold it in place. Since then he is in constant pain and nerve damage. He has been on medication since 2001 - now suffering from side effects - what is our recourse for this disasterous surgery? We need to live as comfortable life as possible - can we be added to a lawsuit?

My father has been trying for 2 years solid to get information on this hernea surgery and patch. The hospital and Dr.s are doing EVERYTHING in their power to hide specific information on the patch they out in him. They just lie and say, " Oh, we don't know what lot number of patch they used, no no." They would prefer he dies so that they can be rid of him. He's in unbearable pain every moment of his life. No one will release his records. No ONE

Hello there! You should be able to contact the doctor's office that handled your surgery to request this information. It should be noted on your medical records.
