A Detailed Look Transvaginal Mesh

Medical treatments are introduced into the field after years of research and development. They help people recover from serious illnesses or conditions that can affect their daily life. The transvaginal mesh provided one such treatment. Women with SUI or POP experienced a significant improvement on quality of life if procedures were successful and there were no complications.


Unfortunately, this is a high-risk implant so many women experience serious side effects.  At VMSettlements.net, we handle several cases in this field and are familiar with the latest verdicts. Here’s a detailed look at the causes of these lawsuits:

What is a transvaginal mesh?

Transvaginal or urogynaecological meshes are made from aspecial plastic material, designed to be implanted directly in the pelvis. Until recently, it was considered an effective treatment with a low-risk and high success rate. It treats two major health concerns and they are:

•Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) – These problems are more prevalent in women who have experienced childbirth, are menopausal, or overweight. If the pelvic muscles are too weak, organs like the bladder, uterus, or anus can sag into the vaginal channel andcause considerable discomfort. A mesh forms a hammock underthese sagging organs to hold them up. The doctor will place this implant on top, back, or front of vaginal wall depending on a patient’s condition.

•Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) – Women with SUI suffer from a leaking bladder, especially during times of high physical activity. This happens because of weak pelvic muscles. Bladder meshes hold the urethra in place to ensure it doesn’t leak.

Transvaginal mesh complications

The FDA received over 4,000 reports after it approved of this product. Because of the volume of complaints, this body was forced to admit transvaginal mesh complications were not rare. They declared this implant procedure “high risk” and issued public warnings.

Complications included excessive bleeding, vaginal scarring, organ perforation because of mesh erosion, infections, etc. The edges of this device cut into delicate vaginal walls, causing repeated injury. This led to a surge in transvaginal mesh lawsuits as the implant treatment was marketed as safe and effective. Most times, it failedand weakened vaginal walls further. Excessive scarring and injury to the walls require several surgeries to repair.
