Our team of attorneys are now investigating claims and prepared to file Mirena lawsuitsinvolving the intrauterine contraceptive device Mirena®. Manufactured by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Mirena is an IUD device [intrauterine device] that must be inserted by a trained health care provider and is intended to provide contraceptive protection for up to five years. Some women have experienced serious adverse side-effects and potentially life-threatening complications following the implantation of theMirena device, including perforation of or imbedment in the uterus.
Risks Associated with Placement of the Instruments
Placing the Veress needle into the abdomen, is a blind procedure, which depends entirely on the skill and experience of your surgeon. There are the fail-safe mechanisms we’ve outlined, but you still depend on your surgeon’s judgment in determining exactly where to guide the needle. Similarly, the Hasson cannula and the extra ports, although inserted with the advantage of direct vision, are still instruments with sharp points that are being pushed firmly through your belly wall. Even the blunt-ended laparoscope is capable of causing damage if it is not carefully used. The structures inside your abdomen that are at risk are your bowel, your bladder, and your large blood vessels.
Mirena Lawyer Says Mirena May Cause Damage to Blood Vessels
The large blood vessels that supply the skin and muscle of your abdominal wall are at most risk when the second or later ports are being placed. The internal blood vessels, which supply your internal organs and continue down to supply your legs, are actually at most risk of puncture or tearing when the Veress needle or the laparoscope is inserted.
In the first situation, bleeding can usually be stopped by placing some stitches through the abdominal wall from the outside, monitoring the placement through the laparoscope inside the abdomen. In the second scenario, it is necessary for the surgeon to open your abdomen and do an open surgery to stop the bleeding.
