Transvaginal Mesh Law Firm
Transvaginal mesh, a metallic or polymeric material used in pelvic organ prolapse surgery, is implanted in the vaginal area to repair damaged bones and connective tissues in the vagina and to reinforce the urethra’s bodily functions.
The surgery is performed on women who suffer from involuntary leakage of urine caused by bladder and uterus’ protrusion on the vagina. However, the use of vaginal mesh in surgeries has resulted to various complications, which pose a serious danger to the patient.
Such surgical implications include, but are not limited to, bleeding, infection, damage in the rectum, urinary difficulties, reappearance of former symptoms, and dyspareunia (pain from sexual intercourse).
Recent reports show that aside from those complications, pelvic organ prolapse surgery can also bring about neuromuscular problems, vaginal shrinkage, emotional difficulties, and sexual dysfunction.
However, prior to suffering from the complications, women experience numerous symptoms like erratic backaches, incessant urine leakage, irregular bowel movements, minor vaginal infections, and physical pain.
In 2010, more than 3,000 cases of transvaginal mesh surgeries were met with complications, which required further operations. Later that same year, women sought help from transvaginal mesh law firms and filed lawsuits against Bard Avaulta, Gynecare Prolift, and Bard Pelvi, which are the manufacturers of defective transvaginal mesh products.
Transvaginal Mesh Law Firm Overview
A majority of cases that were consulted with transvaginal mesh law firms stated that Bard Avaulta, a company that introduced its Avaulta Anterior and Posterior BioSynthetic Support System in 2007, nonchalantly designed its transvaginal mesh and unsuccessfully warned its patients about the risks of the surgery.
Generally, pelvic organ prolapse surgery entails numerous benefits and risks. Its advantage is that the surgery can be done in various techniques, including apical suspensions, anterior vaginal prolapse repair, posterior vaginal prolapse repair, and obliterative procedures. The surgical technique used is determined by the patient’s overall health and medical conditions.
However, the anterior and posterior vaginal prolapse methods pose a threat to a patient’s health. Surgical mesh has caused various infections and medical problems to numerous women who had undergone the operation in the recent years.
