ClassAction.org is alerting consumers of potential health issues related to the implantation of transvaginal mesh. Serious complications have been linked to transvaginal mesh devices, including erosion of vaginal tissue, infection, and mesh erosion.
Transvaginal mesh is a medical device that is surgically implanted in order to alleviate certain medical conditions, such as Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) and Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). These conditions commonly affect women after pregnancy and child birth. They can also be caused by old age. Several different companies manufacture transvaginal mesh products, including Johnson & Johnson, Ethicon, Boston Scientific, and others.
In October 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Public Health Notification after receiving reports of serious health problems resulting from the implantation of a transvaginal mesh device. Complications that have been linked to transvaginal mesh include: erosion through vaginal epithelium, infection, pain, vaginal scarring, mesh erosion, and urinary problems. Perforation of the bowel, bladder, or blood vessels during insertion of the mesh is another transvaginal mesh complication that has been reported. In some cases, recurrence of Pelvic Organ Prolapse and/or Stress Urinary Incontinence was also reported.
