What is trans vaginal surgical mesh?
Doesn’t it seem like every day there is a new FDA concern proliferating all over the planet about a risky drug or surgical procedure?
Are women asking each other – what is trans vaginal surgical mesh?
If you or your wife or mother recently had surgery for urinary incontinence or a lapsed bladder or vagina than you are probably wondering – what is trans vaginal surgical mesh?
Trans vaginal surgical mesh is a medical device that is generally used to repair weakened or damaged tissue. It is made from porous absorbable or non-absorbable synthetic material or absorbable biologic material. Trans vaginal surgical mesh is permanently implanted to reinforce a weakened vaginal wall to repair pelvic organ prolapse or to support the urethra in order to treat urinary incontinence.
The FDA has received more than 1,000 reports of complications associated with the placement of trans vaginal surgical mesh through an incision made in the wall of the vagina. Although rare, such complications can have serious consequences.
Some of the complaints were:
- Erosion through vaginal epithelium
- Infection
- Pain
- Urinary problems
- Recurrence of prolapse and/or incontinence
Reports emerged of bowel, bladder, and blood vessel perforation during insertion. In some cases, vaginal scarring and mesh erosion led to a significant decrease in patient quality of life due to discomfort and pain.
