FDA alerts hospital staff, OB/GYN physicians and surgeons only! Safety alert on October 21, 2008 warning 1,000 reports of injury with transvaginal placement of surgical mesh.
November 4, 2008, Dallas, TX (AmericanInjuryNews)–The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) informed healthcare professionals on October 21, 2008, of serious complications associated with certain surgical mesh repairs. Transvaginal placement of surgical mesh to repair pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) has caused over 1000 reports of complications in women. Over the past three years, nine different surgical mesh manufacturers have reported complications, to the FDA, associated with mesh devices used to repair POP and SUI.
Enews informers and Dallas product liability attorneys learned of the recent alert to hospital staff, doctors and surgeons. AmericanInjuryNews editors are informing Texas women about the most common risks reported when surgeons use surgical mesh in transvaginal repair operations:
-Erosion of the mesh through the vaginal wall.
-Infection
-Pain
-Urinary problems
-Recurrence of prolapse and/or incontinence
There were also reports of bowel, bladder, and blood vessel perforation during insertion. Unfortunately, some women have also sustained permanent vaginal scarring and mesh erosion. These permanent injuries have led to a significant decrease in patient quality of life, due to discomfort and pain, including difficult and painful intercourse.
