Because nearly one tenth of all women worldwide experience pelvic organ prolapse (POP) during their lives, many top medical professionals today strive to develop treatment more reliable than transvaginal mesh (TVM), a treatment option associated with a high rate of failure and complications of vaginal mesh.

A current study titled, “Indications, Contraindications, and Complications of Mesh in Surgical Treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse,” turned its focus towards the alarming increase in patients who require a second surgical repair because of a recurrence of POP after TVM use.  David Ellington and his partner Holly Richter in their 2013 Clinical Obstetrics and Gynecology article studied the potential benefits and risks of using transvaginal mesh kits to try to lower the risk of reoccurrence of the original symptoms in patients.  They determined that while clinical research is starting to become more important in the eyes of federal regulators, the situation still lies where, “physicians need to continue to review the literature, report their own outcomes, and educate patients regarding new outcome date, complications, and recommendations, from national organizations in women’s health regarding prolapse repair.”

While this summary is encouraging as it indicates that efforts are starting to be made towards informing patients as thoroughly as possible of the risks associated with TVM, the fact still remains that numerous incidents have occurred involving the contraindications of transvaginal mesh kits, prompting a large number of transvaginal mesh lawsuits to be filed.  Many TVM lawsuits are filed because of the expensive and often times painful additional surgeries required to correct the complications caused by transvaginal mesh.

The use of transvaginal mesh kits has grown substantially in recent years as new products are being designed constantly.  However, numerous transvaginal mesh lawsuits have emerged because of the inconsistent success rates offered by the field of different transvaginal mesh products.  Lawsuits have not only emerged because of unsuccessful procedures involving transvaginal mesh kits, but because of the high number of complications that occur, often times leading patients into experiences of severe pain and discomfort.

In a recent study in Female Pelvic Medicine & Reconstructive Surgery, an article titled “Elevate Anterior/Apical: 12-month Data Showing Safety and Efficacy in Surgical Treatment of Pelvic Organ Prolapse,” focused on the possible repercussions of transvaginal mesh in reparatory surgery.  Edward Standford and his team focused on the possible outcomes of using transvaginal mesh kits in the surgical repair of prolapsed pelvic organs one year after surgery.  They listed a fairly high success rate but noted a range of complications that occurred in numerous subjects.  These complications included but were not limited to: “…mesh exposure, urinary tract infections, transient buttock pain, de novo stress incontinence, retention, dyspareunia, and hematoma,” each of which cause significant stress in patients’ lives.

Though transvaginal mesh kits have gained popularity in clinical use, they have brought with them a host of TVM complications, that when objectively studied, have shown to prove that transvaginal mesh kits are being seen as less and less of a viable and safe method for the repair of prolapsed pelvic organs.

If you have experienced any of the listed adverse effects of transvaginal mesh following reparatory surgery, then you may be one of the many victims of an unsafe and ineffective medical device, transvaginal mesh.  Contact our offices and let us provide you with the representation you need to win the justice you deserve for your suffering.

Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition which has been swarmed with controversy as all reparatory methods haven’t led to a sufficiently-high success rate to allow for continued use.  As medical science advances, there have been a range of methods for attempting to solve the issues caused by pelvic organ prolapse, and currently, the use of transvaginal mesh kits tends to be the most popular approach to the surgical repair of anterior vaginal wall prolapse.  However, the use of transvaginal mesh (TVM) has been the cause for numerous transvaginal mesh lawsuits as there have been a range of reported complications due to the unreliable nature of the products released to date.  One study has even shown that the removal of TVM may not alleviate pain associated with a recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse.

The market trend in the medical field is moving towards a constant stream of newly released transvaginal mesh kits, not all of which have been given the proper clinical research before consumer use considering the high number of new products that have been used.  A recent study posed the question of whether or not it was necessary to advance towards the use of transvaginal mesh kits for the repair of pelvic organ prolapse.  Alex Gomelsky and Randy Vince, in their current research study focused on the failure rates for traditional reparatory methods in comparison to the high failure rates seen with procedures involving transvaginal mesh.

Their results indicated that traditional approaches have been seen to have similar failure rates as procedures using transvaginal mesh kits, indicating that there may be no improved efficacy with the use of mesh kits in the repair of pelvic organ prolapse, compared to the use of other surgical methods.  The study gives reason to ask the question as to why transvaginal mesh kits are constantly being chosen as the method of choice for physicians.

The answer is unclear, but with nearly one-third of women who use transvaginal mesh requiring corrective surgery following complications, the consequences of the decision to use transvaginal mesh can be serious and may include unpredicted side-effects.  For more information regarding the unpredicted side effect of the use of transvaginal mesh, follow the link above.

If you have suffered from complications due to the use of transvaginal mesh in your pelvic organ prolapse surgery, it may be because of the lack of clinical research done on the product and you may be entitled to compensation due to the negligence of the company who distributed an unsafe or ineffective product.  Contact my offices and let me represent you in your search for the justice you deserve.

An article found on The Washington Post’s website clarified the current discussion surrounding the emerging number of complications seen in connection to the use of transvaginal mesh in the repair of pelvic organ prolapse.  The article summarized a statement issued by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration that reported that complications due to the use of transvaginal mesh kits are “not rare.”  Although this may seem like no cause for alarm, as “not rare” doesn’t indicate a serious epidemic or otherwise large shift in number of complications associated with transvaginal mesh, the situation is, in fact, more serious than the FDA’s summary implies.

In recent years, transvaginal mesh has been used more and more regularly as a constant stream of new versions of synthetic mesh kits has expanded in market development.  The kits, aimed at repairing the damages caused by pelvic organ prolapse, are far too commonly passed over in clinical testing for their objective safety in patients immediately following surgery and in long-term use.  With an estimated 30 to 50 percent of women suffering from pelvic organ prolapse (though only about 2% experience any symptoms),* it is a necessity to properly test the products that are used for the safe and effective repair of the prolapsed vaginal walls and pelvic organs.  While extensive testing was performed on some of the earlier versions of transvaginal mesh kits in their use for hernia surgeries, there is a supreme lack of research done to test the safety of their use in pelvic organ prolapse repair.

Medical professionals are finding that it is often the case that patients who use transvaginal mesh kits in the surgical repair of prolapsed pelvic organs have experienced a range of complications due to the products used.  The article in The Washington Post solidifies the worry as it states that no one single product line can be considered here as the trend has been that little research has been done on any of the currently used transvaginal mesh kits by any producers.

This serious issue has been a constant source of pain and suffering for patients everywhere, and we intend to help you or your loved ones win justice for the suffering caused by unsafe and under-tested products like transvaginal mesh.  Please contact us to receive a free consultation to determine if you are eligible to file a transvaginal mesh lawsuit.

*Another estimate published by The Lancet places the overall prevalence of genital prolapse at about 9% of women worldwide, affecting about 316 million women.  Such a discrepancy in reports of prevalence may be explained by the simple fact that many cases pelvic organ prolapse are asymptomatic and remain unnoticed.

In recent years, transvaginal mesh kits have been used more and more regularly in the repair of pelvic organ prolapse.  A current controversy has emerged as to the safety of such products as more often than not, they are under-tested for their safety for patient use.  A recent article published on the CommonHealth website provides a prime example of the seriousness of the developing controversy surrounding the use of transvaginal mesh kits for surgical implantation.

The article told the story of six women who have been selected to speak publicly about their personal medical traumas that resulted from the use of synthetic mesh in surgical procedures to repair prolapsed pelvic organs.  The six women have gone through a total of 45 surgical procedures to try to undo the damage caused by such devices, originally designed and intended to alleviate discomfort, but instead resulted a lengthy and painful experience.  The six victims experienced a range of complications related to transvaginal mesh in their pelvic organ prolapse surgery, including: “material [eroding] through the vaginal lining, causing infections and nerve damage, as well as excruciating pain, the inability to sit down or urinate without a catheter, multiple hospitalizations and a halt to their sex lives.”  One victim said that she would have never consented to the use of transvaginal mesh kits in the repair of her prolapsed vaginal wall if she had known of the lack of research done to support the safety of such products.

This emerging problem has already victimized countless patients who intended on undergoing reparatory surgery to alleviate the pain caused by pelvic organ prolapse, but rather experienced a list of painful complications due to the use of unsafe transvaginal mesh products.  If you have suffered any adverse effects following the surgical implantation of synthetic mesh kits, it may be due to the negligence of companies to determine the safety of using such products.  Please contact us for a free consultation to determine if you are eligible file a transvaginal mesh lawsuit and earn compensation for the suffering you have endured.  Our experienced team of transvaginal mesh lawyers will help you secure the justice you deserve.

A startling discovery was made recently as it was uncovered that officials at CR Bard Inc. hid the flaws in their transvaginal mesh products in order to allow for continued sales.  The transvaginal mesh devices made by Bard were made with plastics deemed, “unsuitable for human implantation.”  The executives at Bard made use of the plastic devices, despite the warnings that said it shouldn’t be permanently implanted in humans.  This emerging controversy has brought about numerous transvaginal mesh lawsuits as patients are suffering the adverse effects of the unsafe products distributed by Bard Inc.

A recent article on the Bloomberg news website discusses the possible complications caused TVM, citing that women face the danger of severe organ damage as well as extreme pain during sexual intercourse as a result of the defective product’s erosion over time.  The article states the obvious, asserting “Doctors and women such as Donna Cisson* would have shunned the mesh if they had known about the warning.”

If you have had a transvaginal mesh device surgically implanted, and that mesh kit was produced by CR Bard Inc., then you may be at risk of suffering the adverse effects of an unsafe product.  Please seek medical advice from your doctor to ensure that you do not experience such effects.  If you or a loved one has suffered any of the adverse effects caused by transvaginal mesh devices, you may be eligible to file a transvaginal mesh lawsuit and find compensation for your experience.  Contact Justinian Lane to receive a free consultation and seek the justice you deserve.

*Donna Cisson is a victim of the adverse effects of the unsafe transvaginal mesh produced by Bard. She is now in the middle of a transvaginal mesh lawsuit in which she seeks compensating for her suffering.

With over one tenth of all women with pelvic organ prolapse requiring surgery, researchers have begun to dedicate time and effort towards finding safe and effective methods to achieve higher satisfaction for patients.  Transvaginal mesh systems have emerged commercially over the past decades to try to reduce the failure rate of surgical pelvic organ prolapse repair, and to some, represent one such advancement.  One research study, conducted by Joanna Togami and her affiliates, aimed at discussing the controversies surrounding transvaginal mesh and other new surgical techniques.

Togami and her team reported that from the 11% of women worldwide who will receive surgical repair for prolapsed pelvic organs, a third of them will experience surgical failure, requiring them to return for further surgery.  They indicate that the use of transvaginal mesh kits have not yet led to confirming transvaginal mesh as a viable alternative to traditional repairs, with a range of complications occurring as a  result of their use.  The report attributes these comparable failure rates to the lack of research completed in respect to the effectiveness of the use of transvaginal mesh kits.

New transvaginal mesh kits are being marketed at a rapid pace, and research indicates that they are often times heavily under-researched before being passed to the general market for consumer use.  This is highly dangerous as these products are being used without a full understanding of what the possible adverse effects may be.  If you or a loved one has undergone pelvic organ prolapse repair involving the use of transvaginal mesh, and suffered surgical failure or post-operative side effects, you may be eligible to file a transvaginal mesh lawsuit with our skilled specialists.  Please contact us with your concerns to determine if you can pursue compensation for the suffering caused by under-tested transvaginal mesh kits.

The use of transvaginal mesh (TVM) in repair of genital prolapse has become more popular in recent years, but with this has come a controversy over the safety of procedures involving TVM.  As many studies have shown that the use of transvaginal mesh can lead to serious complications for the patient, researches and designers have been trying to find new transvaginal mesh systems that they hope will be deemed safer.

A recent study from B. Fatton, et. al. evaluated the safety of a newer TVM product called Prolift, and found that a host of negative outcomes were possible, though not highly probable.  These TVM complications include bladder injury occurring during surgery, haematomas, mesh exposure, granuloma as well as postoperative failure.

The study proves that while efforts are starting to be made to find concrete answers about the safety of transvaginal mesh systems for the repair of vaginal prolapse, the research done so far has found a multitude of possible complications that could occur.  Due to the frequency of these complications and due to the fact that many manufacturers of transvaginal mesh products have failed to adequately warn users about risks associated with TVM, a number of transvaginal mesh lawsuits are currently being filed.

If you have suffered from any of the above-listed complications after or during a vaginal prolapse repair operation involving transvaginal mesh, you may be victim to an understudied or misused transvaginal mesh system.  Please contact our transvaginal mesh lawyers to receive a free consultation, and we will help you determine if you are eligible to file a transvaginal mesh lawsuit.
