According to the findings of a new study in the American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, approximately 11.6% of women who undergo surgery with transvaginal placement of Ethicon Gynecare Prolift Mesh for repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) have to undergo additional operations due to complications or other problems that subsequently develop. European researchers contributed to this story.

Researchers reviewed the outcomes for 524 patients who received the Ethicon Gynecare Prolift vaginal mesh between January 2005 and January 2009. At a median follow up of 38 months, 11.6% had to undergo reoperation after receiving the Prolift Mesh for pelvic organ prolapse. About 6.9% of those reoperations were due to urinary incontinence, 3.6% due to mesh-related complications and 3% due to recurring prolapse, which the mesh is designed to treat. However, the researchers found that the number of mesh-related complications and POP decreased when experienced medical teams implanted the mesh.

    The FDA released an updated advisory on serious complications associated with Transvaginal placement of surgical mesh for pelvic organ prolapse. The FDA has scheduled a meeting for a panel of outside experts for recommendations on how to proceed in September 2011. Highlights of the FDA Update are as follows:

    • 100,000 women were treated for Pelvic Organ Prolapse with surgical mesh last year
    • 75,000 women were treated with Transvaginal Mesh
    • Between 2005-2007 manufacturers reported over 1000 reports of serious complications
    • Since 2008 reports of serious complications have jumped 5 fold, and include erosion, when the skin breaks and the device protrudes
    • TVM exposes patients to a number of serious risks

    A chief scientist for the FDA’s medical devices arm proclaimed ” We feel that the routine use of mesh for transvaginal POP treatment is not necessary.” The FDA is not recommending removal at this time, but wants to make physicians and patients aware of the reported risks. YOU SHOULD SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IF YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE SUFFERING ANY COMPLICATION. The most common complications reported after Transvaginal Mesh Implant are: erosion, pain, infection, urinary problems, bleeding and organ perforation.

    If you received a transvaginal mesh / sling and have been injured, you may be entitled to monetary compensation. Problems include pain, inability to have intercourse, bleeding, mesh growth into the body, mesh erosion, and more. Problems could be irreversible.

      Last year, Johnson & Johnson reportedly settled a number of lawsuits over Mentor ObTape vaginal mesh, which had been linked to a complication rate as high as 17% to 18%. The Mentor ObTape bladder sling was removed from the market in 2006, only three years after it was introduced.

      Over the past year, a growing number of Bard Avaulta mesh lawsuits have also been filed by women who have experienced problems. All of the complaints involve similar allegations that C.R. Bard’s Avaulta Anterior and Posterior BioSynthetic Support System, which was introduced in 2007, was negligently designed and that the company failed to warn patients of possible complications that can result in severe pain and disfigurement.

      Other suits over transvaginal mesh products have been filed by women who received the Ethicon Gynecare Gynemesh, Prolene Mesh, Prolift and TVT sling products, as well as the AMS Sparc, Elevate, Apogee, Perigee and Monarc sling systems.

      Surgical mesh is a medical device that is generally used to repair weakened or damaged tissue. It is made from porous absorbable or non-absorbable synthetic material or absorbable biologic material. In urogynecologic procedures, surgical mesh is permanently implanted to reinforce the weakened vaginal wall to repair pelvic organ prolapse or to support the urethra to treat urinary incontinence.

      Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when the tissues that hold the pelvic organs in place become weak or stretched. Thirty to fifty percent of women may experience POP in their lifetime with 2 percent developing symptoms. When POP happens, the organs bulge (prolapse) into the vagina and sometimes prolapse past the vaginal opening. More than one pelvic organ can prolapse at the same time. Organs that can be involved in POP include the bladder, the uterus, the rectum, the top of the vagina (vaginal apex) after a hysterectomy, and the bowel.

      You may have experienced mesh erosion, bleeding, urinary infections, vaginal scarring, pain during sexual intercourse, failure to conduct sexual intercourse and more. A physician may have tried to remove the mesh and been unable to do so. You may be in excruciating pain, and need help. We are offering free case evaluations to the general public across the United States. Manufacturers we consider include American Medical Systems, Bard, Boston Scientific, Ethicon, Gynecare, and Johnson & Johnson.

        Transvaginal Mesh Lawyers Note Complications Are Far From Rare

        FREE CASE EVALUATION: 1-800-632-1404

        If you are reading this page, you are likely suffering from pain after a prior surgery implanting a transvaginal mesh device / TVT / TVM system and sling.You may have been diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse.

        A recent report reveals that complications from transvaginal mesh procedures are far from rare.  Serious complications associated with the transvaginal placement of surgical mesh to repair pelvic organ prolapse (POP) are not rare, says the Food and Drug Administration in an updated safety warning to healthcare providers and patients.   The most frequently reported complications (not associated with any particular brand of mesh) include mesh erosion through the vagina, pain, infection, bleeding, pain during sexual intercourse, organ perforation and urinary problems. The agency has also identified mesh contraction, or shrinkage, as a “previously unidentified risk” associated with transvaginal placement.

        Surgical mesh is a medical device that is generally used to repair weakened or damaged tissue. It is made from porous absorbable or non-absorbable synthetic material or absorbable biologic material. In urogynecologic procedures, surgical mesh is permanently implanted to reinforce the weakened vaginal wall to repair pelvic organ prolapse or to support the urethra to treat urinary incontinence.

        Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when the tissues that hold the pelvic organs in place become weak or stretched. Thirty to fifty percent of women may experience POP in their lifetime with 2 percent developing symptoms. When POP happens, the organs bulge (prolapse) into the vagina and sometimes prolapse past the vaginal opening. More than one pelvic organ can prolapse at the same time. Organs that can be involved in POP include the bladder, the uterus, the rectum, the top of the vagina (vaginal apex) after a hysterectomy, and the bowel.

        BREAKING NEWS: Federal regulators are warning that women who receive vaginal mesh to treat pelvic organ prolapse face a serious risk of complications and health problems, and the devices appear to provide no benefits over other methods of treating the pelvic organ prolapse.  The FDA issued a vaginal mesh safety communication on July 13, indicating that surgical mesh placed in the vagina to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) can erode through the vaginal tissue causing pain, infection, bleeding, pain during intercourse and urinary problems. There is also a risk of organ perforation during the surgical procedure to install a vaginal mesh, the agency stated. PLEASE READ THE FSA WARNING HERE.

        The FDA first issued a warning about vaginal mesh complications in October 2008, indicating that, at that time, more than 1,000 people had reported experiencing problems with products made by at least nine different manufacturers. In addition, a study published earlier this year found a high risk of problems with all vaginal mesh implants.

        The warning comes after a number of vaginal mesh lawsuits have been filed against several manufacturers by women who claim to have been injured by pelvic support systems. Our Firm represents women across the country who have received and been injured by TVM devices.

        In our opinion, the FDA is already making clear statements that it is doubtful that the benefits of vaginal mesh implants outweigh the risks. FDA warned that transvaginal placement of surgical mesh carried the highest risk. There are other surgical techniques to address pelvic organ prolapse that do not involve the use of a surgical mesh or involve placement of the mesh in another part of the abdomen.

        You may have experienced mesh erosion, bleeding, urinary infections, vaginal scarring, pain during sexual intercourse, failure to conduct sexual intercourse and more. A physician may have tried to remove the mesh and been unable to do so. You may be in excruciating pain, and need help.
