Transvaginal Mesh Litigation has till date been one of the largest mass torts in history.
Women
experience SUI and POP majorly from childbirth, hysterectomy, or from
aging. Even though there are a number of surgical procedures available
that can address these conditions, transvaginal mesh have been proven to
be beneficial for a number of reasons. Unfortunately, a growing body of
evidence, showed that these meshes are defectively designed and can
cause a huge number of health hazards.
From
2005 to 2010, close to 4,000 reports of complications were submitted to
the FDA. The most common complaints were of mesh erosion and chronic
pain.
The common complications mesh implant patients reported involve:
- Mesh exposure into the bladder, vagina, or rectum
- Mesh erosion into the bladder or rectum
- Chronic pain
- Chronic infection
- Vaginal bleeding
- Painful sexual intercourse
- Vaginal scarring/shrinkage
- Neuro-muscular problems
- Repeat surgery due to complications
- Bowel, bladder, and blood vessel perforation
- Urinary problems
- Recurrence of POP as well as SUI
Both women and their spouses can fight for their compensation and claim for the following:
- Pain and suffering
- Loss of wages
- Loss of consortium (loss of marital relations)
- Medical expenses, including the corrective surgeries
- Lower quality of life
Why mesh complications are not easy to resolve?
As
transvaginal mesh is designed to be a permanent implant, removing it
entirely can often prove challenging (if not impossible), and chances
are there can be further complications which can impair the patient’s
quality of life, as stated by the FDA. With all these undue pain and
suffering, the victims placed for vaginal mesh lawsuit to claim for their damage awards. 7 deaths associated with transvaginal mesh were reported between 2008 and 2010 to the FDA.
