Transvaginal Mesh Attorneys

Transvaginal Mesh surgery is used in women to treat Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) and Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI).  The FDA has recently found that numerous manufacturers of surgical mesh have reported complications associated with the surgical mesh devices used to repair POP and SUI.  On October 20, 2008 FDA issued a Public Health Notification regarding these complications.

Patients who have had surgery to treat Pelvic Organ Prolapse or Stress Urinary Incontinence are at risk for many complications.  Although the surgery is thought to be minimally invasive, some of these complications include: erosion through vaginal epithelium, infection, urinary problems, recurrence of prolapse, pain, bowel bladder or blood vessel perforation, vaginal scarring, recurrence of incontinence, dyspareunia (painful sexual intercourse) and abscess.

Treatment of the various types of complications can include additional surgical procedures (some of them to remove the mesh), IV therapy, blood transfusions and drainage of hematomas or abscesses.  The FDA has stated that specific characteristics of patients at increased risk for complications have not been determined but that contributing factors may include the overall health of the patient, the mesh material, the size and shape of the mesh and the surgical technique used, among other things.  Surgeons are told by the FDA to inform patients about the potential for serious complications and their effect on the quality of life, including pain during sexual intercourse, scarring and narrowing of the vaginal wall before surgery.
