The failure of transvaginal mesh products (mesh, tape and sling devices) may also require multiple operations to remove the mesh and repair damage the mesh caused. Tragically, some operations cannot completely remove the mesh, resulting in permanent injuries that jeopardize the health of a woman.
Be Aware of New FDA Warnings Concerning Transvaginal Mesh Products
After receiving 2,874 complaints in the last three years from women who suffered serious complications from transvaginal mesh products, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an update to its 2008 Public Health Notification. On July 13, 2011, the FDA advised the public and medical community of the following:
- Serious adverse events from transvaginal mesh products are NOT rare, contrary to what was stated in the 2008 Public Health Notification
- Transvaginally placed mesh in POP repair does NOT conclusively improve clinical outcomes over traditional non-mesh repair
- Transvaginal mesh surgery exposes women to greater risk than traditional non-mesh repair
The FDA is currently investigating the health problems associated with transvaginal mesh products, including device degradation, infection and vaginal wall erosion.
