Complications from Vaginal Mesh Implants

If you have suffered from mesh complications after having pelvic organ prolapse repair surgery, you may be able to take legal action against the manufacturers of these devices for your pain and suffering. In July of 2011, the Food and Drug Administration announced that patients who undergo pelvic organ prolapse repair using surgical mesh may be at a greater risk of complications than women who pursue other surgical options. The FDA has received thousands of complaints of complications due to vaginal mesh and since then, lawsuits have piled up all over the country against the manufacturers of these mesh devices for failure to warn patients and doctors of their risks.

What is Vaginal Mesh Repair?

Sometimes as a result of childbirth, hysterectomy or menopause, a woman's pelvic muscles will weaken, unable to fully support the weight of organs like the bladder or uterus. When this happens, the organs can drop or bulge into the vagina causing pelvic organ prolapse. Vaginal mesh is commonly used to repair POP. In this surgical technique, the synthetic mesh acts as an anchor to reinforce the connective tissues of the vaginal wall and support the organs.

The surgery is very effective for many women, although thousands of other patients have suffered severe vaginal mesh complications.

Common Vaginal Mesh Complications:

Mesh erosion
Infection
Bleeding
Pain during sex
Urinary problems
Discomfort
Vaginal scarring
Bowel, bladder and blood vessel perforation

If vaginal mesh was used in your POP surgery and you are experiencing complications like the ones listed above, you may be able to file a claim seeking compensation for your pain and suffering and medical bills.
