Vaginal Mesh Injury Lawyers
Transvaginal mesh is a medical device used in surgery to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The mesh is sometimes referred to as a bladder sling or transvaginal tape. Transvaginal mesh complications are common and can be fatal. Those who survive can suffer irreversible and debilitating injuries. If you have been harmed by transvaginal mesh our transvaginal mesh attorneys are here to help.
Dangers of Transvaginal Mesh
In July, 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced that transvaginal mesh complications are not rare, and that erosion of the mesh through the vagina is the most commonly reported complication. Mesh erosion must be corrected surgically, and is not always reversible, even with multiple surgeries. Another complication is shrinkage of the mesh.
Mesh erosion and shrinkage can both be permanently debilitating, causing severe pain and the inability to engage in sexual intercourse. Other dangerous complications of transvaginal mesh include infection, bowel or bladder perforation, and recurrence of POP or SUI.
