Transvaginal mesh implants are a vaginal mesh that is surgically implanted to treat or prevent pelvic organ prolapse (POP), which can occur in women after childbirth or surgery. POP causes the womb to fall into the vaginal area, and can also lead to the bladder and bowels slipping out of place and putting pressure on the vagina, causing considerable pain and discomfort, as well as urinary incontinence in some cases. Transvaginal mesh implants may also be used to treat incontinence.
Transvaginal Mesh Sling FDA Warning
On October 20, 2008, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued an FDA Warning regarding serious complications associated with transvaginal placement of surgical mesh. The FDA warning stated that, over the last three years, it has received more than 1,000 reports from nine surgical mesh manufacturers of complications that were associated with surgical mesh devices used to repair Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Stress Urinary Incontinence.
Complications resulting from a transvaginal mesh implant may include the following:
Infection
Erosion of the mesh into the vagina
Recurrences of prolapse
Urinary problems
Bowel, bladder and blood vessel perforations
Injury to nearby organs
Pain during sexual intercourse
Pelvic pain
Extrusion of the mesh device
In many cases, vaginal mesh implant problems have required multiple surgeries to remove the vaginal mesh. Even after surgery, women may be left with permanent and disfugiring injuries.
