TVM Lawsuits for Its Health Complications

Transvaginal synthetic mesh implant is done in patients to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The popularity of the surgery when astronomically high as it offered easier and faster recovery options. Over 200,000 inpatient surgical procedures for SUI and POP are done every year in the U.S. itself.



The FDA approved of these devices in the 1990s but there have been plenty of adverse reports about the meshes. Thousands of transvaginal mesh lawsuits were submitted to the federal and district courts claiming for the compensation for the unnecessary physical injuries it caused them.

One can file for a bladder mesh lawsuit if she suffered from:
  •  mesh erosion
  • urinary tract problems
  • recurrent prolapse and inconsistency
  •  chronic pain in the abdomen and surgical site
  •  severe bacterial infection
  • painful intercourse
Usually, the mesh removal surgery is the only option to treat the complications associated with mesh erosion; however that can bring back the original POP and SUI conditions. Moreover, mesh erosion weakens the pelvic muscles making the physical condition worse than ever. Apart from the physical complications, the patients also suffer from mental degradation.

Warning and lawsuits

The FDA issued the first warning in 2008 stating about the serious side effects. In 2011, they updated the warning stating that the transvaginal mesh side effects are actually common and that the mesh implant did not significantly bring any effectiveness than as they  advertised about their product.

Transvaginal mesh lawsuit update allows the victims to claim for the expenses of their ongoing and future medical bills, loss of wages, inability to earn in the future. Also, the claims accused the manufactures for misrepresenting the devices as a safe alternative to the existing ways of curing POP and SUI. The FDA has reclassified them from medium risk devices to high risk products.
