Wanted: Women to tell transvaginal mesh surgery horror stories
According to a press release posted on PR Newswire, the Women's Health Foundation in collaboration with the Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support is looking for women patients' who have undergone transvaginal mesh surgery for POPS and who are willing to tell their horror stories at an upcoming FDA meeting in Washington, D.C.
The meeting in D.C. is in response to the July 2011 safety warning distributed by the FDA.
In 2008, the FDA first released concerns about the safety of transvaginal placement of mesh. From 2008 to 2010, the FDA received five times as many adverse reports associated with mesh used for POP repair than what the agency received from 2005 to 2007.
"It is imperative that women do their homework when evaluating options for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse. Transvaginal mesh procedures play a pivotal role in preventing additional surgical intervention down the road but it is vital that they are performed by physicians who have been adequately trained," said Sherrie Palm, Founder and President of the Association for Pelvic Organ Prolapse Support.
If you or a loved one has suffered serious adverse events from transvaginal mesh surgery gone wrong — please contact Anapol Schwartz, a personal injury law firm dedicated to pursuing negligent medical devices. Transvaginal mesh is considered a medical device. Find out how a law firm can help you for pain and suffering and excessive medical bills.
