In recent years a number of medical products companies have produced synthetic mesh for use in pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence surgery. Unfortunately, a large number of women have suffered from transvaginal surgery mesh complications caused by these synthetic mesh products.

We believe that the manufacturers of transvaginal mesh products should be held accountable for any harm they are legally responsible for and people should be fairly compensated for damages caused by surgery mesh complications. There is a limited time to file a transvaginal mesh lawsuit and if you have been affected it is important to look into your legal rights as soon as possible.

Safety concerns associated with surgical mesh used in transvaginal Pelvic Organ Prolapse repair:

• Patients who have POP surgical repair using mesh are exposed to complications caused by the surgery mesh that are not experienced by patients who elect traditional surgery that doesn’t use mesh
• Some women who undergo surgery using transvaginal mesh can experience permanent complications that may persist even after having the mesh removed
• Contrary to what was previously understood, surgery mesh complications are not rare occurrences with some data showing 10 percent of women who underwent transvaginal POP surgery using mesh experiencing surgery vaginal mesh erosion with one year following surgery
• Over fifty percent of patients who suffered from surgery mesh erosion from non-absorbable mesh had to undergo an additional surgery to remove the mesh while other patients underwent two to three additional surgeries
• There has been an increase in the number of reported surgery mesh complications involving mesh contraction which can cause vaginal shortening, tightening and pain associated with transvaginal mesh used in POP surgeries
• A greater frequency of new cases of stress urinary incontinence have been reported after repairs using surgery mesh versus traditional mesh repairs
• Surgical repair using transvaginal mesh to treat vaginal apical prolapse is linked with an increased rate of complications when compared to traditional surgery procedures and can result in additional surgeries
• Abdominal pelvic organ prolapse repair using mesh seems to have lower rates of surgery mesh complications compared to POP surgical repair with transvaginal mesh.

After analyzing the adverse reports submitted by patients and medical providers and the most current scientific literature, the Food and Drug Administration has reached the conclusion that there is not strong evidence supporting the use of transvaginal mesh in pelvic organ prolapse surgery as a superior procedure versus traditional mesh repairs due to the potential for increased risk of surgery mesh complications for patients.
