On July 13, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated an advisory on vaginal mesh implants reporting that there is little evidence that the implants improve pelvic organ prolapse and that patients are exposed to a number of risks and complications, which are not rare. According to TVM lawyer Ed Wallis, the FDA issued a Safety Communication, which provides an Overview, a Summary of Adverse Event Reports, a Review of their Literature, a Summary of their Key Findings and Recommendations with regards to these transvaginal mesh devices.
Specifically, the FDA made the following recommendations for women after the surgery:
- Patients should continue with annual and other routine check-ups and follow-up care.
- Patients should notify their health care provider if they develop complications or symptoms, including persistent vaginal bleeding or discharge, pelvic pain, groin pain, painful intercourse, or urinary problems.
- Patients should let their health care provider know if they have surgical mesh, especially if planning to have another related surgery or other medical procedure.
- Patients should talk with the health care provider about any questions or concerns.
- Patients should ask their surgeon at the next routine check-up if they received mesh for the POP surgery if they are unsure that mesh was used.
On September 8-9, 2001, the Obstetrics and Gynecology Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee will meet to make recommendations regarding how to proceed.
