Ohio Vaginal Mesh Lawsuit Lawyers

Are you a victim of the dangerous side effects of a Transvaginal Mesh Device? Transvaginal Mesh Devices may be linked to serious and excruciating complications. Some of those complications include painful lasting infection, embarrassing scars, and perforation of major internal organs.

Types of Transvaginal Mesh

Surgical mesh is a medical device that is usually used as added support for damaged tissues or organs. There are many different types of surgical mesh manufactured by different companies. Transvaginal Mesh Devices are made by at least nine different manufacturers, and are many times used on the inner part of the vaginal wall to treat conditions that occur after childbirth or surgery. Two of the Transvaginal Mesh Device's major uses are for treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) and Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI).

These conditions literally affect millions of women in the United States, and recently, surgeons have been using Transvaginal Mesh Devices to attempt repairs to tissue damage that cause POP and SUI. Regardless of warnings by the FDA, hospitals and physicians continue to use the products, and lasting injuries continue to be suffered by implant recipients.

FDA Warning for Transvaginal Mesh

The FDA's warning stated that the complications associated with Transvaginal Mesh Devices are not rare. The FDA has received thousands of reports of injuries resulting from the mesh. Side effects of the mesh can include, but are not limited to:

  • Infection
  • Recurrence of Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP)
  • Recurrence of Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI)
  • Erosion of vaginal tissue
  • Mesh erosion
  • Perforation of the bowel, bladder, and/or blood vessels
  • Urinary problems
  • Vaginal scarring
  • Pain during sexual intercourse

Dangerous Side Effects

Most patients who have had complications resulting from the Transvaginal Mesh Devices have needed medical care or surgery. Quite often, patients must endure intravenous therapy, blood transfusions, drainage of abscesses, and major surgery to repair or remove the defective mesh. If not treated quickly enough, the effects can be lethal.
