Despite removal of the mesh, complications may not be reversed, and women continue to suffer with chronic pelvic pain, vaginal pain, loss of mobility and an impaired quality of life.

Frequently Asked Questions
Individuals who have experienced complications or adverse effects as a result of transvaginal mesh implantation may consider filing a claim. This typically includes women who have undergone surgery for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and have subsequently experienced issues such as mesh erosion, chronic pain, infection, urinary problems, pain during intercourse, or organ perforation.
It's essential for those affected to consult with a lawyer specializing in medical device litigation to assess their specific situation and determine whether they have grounds for a claim. Additionally, statutes of limitations may apply, so it's important to seek legal advice promptly if considering legal action.
Transvaginal mesh, also known as pelvic mesh or bladder sling, is a synthetic material used in surgical procedures to treat certain pelvic floor disorders in women, such as pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). The mesh is designed to provide additional support to weakened or damaged pelvic tissues.
During a transvaginal mesh procedure, the mesh is surgically implanted through the vagina and positioned to reinforce the pelvic floor or support organs such as the bladder, urethra, or rectum. The idea is to alleviate symptoms like urinary leakage or pressure from organs bulging into the vagina.
While transvaginal mesh has been used for years, it has become controversial due to reports of complications and adverse effects experienced by some patients. These complications may include mesh erosion (where the mesh protrudes through vaginal tissue), chronic pain, infection, urinary problems, pain during intercourse, and organ perforation. Consequently, there have been numerous lawsuits and regulatory actions related to the safety and effectiveness of transvaginal mesh implants.
