Our Michigan lawyers have been contacted by a number of women who have reported serious transvaginal mesh complications and related injuries. This medical device is made by a several companies to treat a number of conditions, including Pelvic Organ Proplapse.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse, a type of pelvic floor disorder, can affect many women. The "pelvic floor" is a group of muscles that form a kind of hammock across your pelvic opening. Normally, these muscles and the tissues surrounding them keep the pelvic organs in place. These organs include your bladder, uterus, vagina, small bowel, and rectum. "Prolapse" refers to a descending or drooping of organs. Pelvic organ prolapse refers to the prolapse or drooping of any of the pelvic floor organs.
When a woman experienced pelvic organ prolapse a vaginal mesh may be performed to repair the prolapse. A pelvic organ prolapse occurs when the pelvis organs, such as the bladder and urethra, drop downward, often because of a weakness in the vaginal wall associated with childbirth, hysterectomy, or menopause. This can cause the vagina to push forward, causing discomfort and even incontinence.
The standard procedure for repairing pelvic organ prolapse is stitching the connective tissue in the vaginal wall muscle back together. However, vaginal mesh surgery also known as bladder sling systems or transvaginal mesh support is the newest procedure to repair prolapse and is becoming more common.
The most common risks of vaginal mesh or transvaginal mesh support include:
Any woman who has experienced problems after receiving any type of surgical mesh or bladder sling or suffers serious injuries due to the design of the pelvic support system being defecting and/or dangerous may have a potential medical malpractice claim.
