What is transvaginal mesh?
Transvaginal mesh is a surgical device designed for implantation in women suffering from Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) and Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). These conditions commonly affect women after pregnancy and childbirth. Typically, the surgical mesh device is placed transvaginally (through the vaginal wall) using a minimally invasive medical procedure. Several different companies manufacture transvaginal surgical mesh products, including Johnson & Johnson and Boston Scientific.
Has transvaginal mesh been linked to any health complications?
Between 2005 and 2008, the FDA received over 1,000 reports of complications resulting from transvaginal mesh devices used to repair POP and SUI. The most frequent transvaginal mesh complications include infection, pain, urinary problems, recurrence of prolapse and/or incontinence, vaginal scarring, and mesh erosion. Bowel, bladder, and blood vessel perforation during insertion were also reported. In October 2008, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a Public Health Notification warning of these serious and painful complications that have been linked to transvaginal mesh devices.
