More Information on Transvaginal Mesh Injuries

Many women who have suffered from bladder prolapse, pelvic prolapse and other related complications have had transvaginal mesh implanted to treat the problem. Atransvaginal mesh is a surgical mesh made from polyester or polypropylene and feels like a woven fabric and is implanted in the vagina. It reinforces the vaginal wall and creates what is at times referred to as a pelvic sling or baldder sling.

The first Ethicon Gynecare vaginal mesh lawsuits are scheduled to be heard in New Jersey late next year. More than 350 claims alleging serious vaginal mesh side effects have been consolidated for trial in Superior Court with the Honorable Carol E. Higbee presiding.

Since 2005, the FDA has received over 4,000 complaints from women who claim that transvaginal mesh caused them to experience severe pain, infection, scarring, bleeding, blood vessel damage and in some cases, organ perforation. These complaints lead the FDA to issue new warnings about the use of vaginal mesh implants in July 2011, although whether or not these devices will be pulled off the market remains to be seen.

Our team of attorneys is reviewing case evaluations for women across the country who have received TVM and TVT products from manufactures such as C.R. Bard, Avaulta, Boston Scientific, and Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon.

The Problem

In 2008, the FDA first released concerns about the safety of transvaginal placement of mesh. From 2008 to 2010, the FDA received three to five times as many adverse reports associated with mesh used for pelvic organ prolapse repair than what agency received from 2005 to 2007 (nearly 1,000 reports of adverse events were received from 2005-2007).

Many of these patients complain because of erosion or contraction of the mesh material (which has been described as being of a similar material as Rubbermaid storage containers).  The erosion leads to bleeding, severe pelvic pain, painful (or impossible) sexual performance and a recurrence of urinary problems.

In July 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an update related to what it called ‘serious complications’ related to the use of vaginal mesh for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).  It is now known that complications linked to transvaginal placement of surgical mesh in SUI and POP patients are not rare and can require multiple surgeries to correct problems related to the use of surgical mesh. In fact, the FDA now says that additional surgeries may actually not be able to repair damage caused by implantation of the mesh.

In other words, the side effects of the mesh placement may be permanent.  These complications from transvaginal placement of surgical mesh include:

• -Erosion of the implanted mesh
• -Infection and/or bleeding
• -Pain, including pain during sexual intercourse
• -Problems with organs near the implantation site

Many women who have suffered from bladder prolapse, pelvic prolapse and other related complications have had transvaginal mesh implanted to treat the problem. Atransvaginal mesh is a surgical mesh made from polyester or polypropylene and feels like a woven fabric and is implanted in the vagina. It reinforces the vaginal wall and creates what is at times referred to as a pelvic sling or baldder sling.

Transvaginal mesh implants are used in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse and urinary incontinence. In the recent years, many women who have had transvaginal mesh implants have complained of complications. The commons complications include mesh erosion through the vagina (also called exposure, extrusion or protrusion), pain, infection, bleeding, pain during sexual intercourse (dyspareunia), organ perforation, and urinary problems.

Pelvic Organ Prolapse

In some cases, there is a reoccurrence of the pelvic organ prolapse after the TVM or TVT is implanted. Pelvic organ prolapse, or POP, occurs when the pelvic organs- most commonly the bladder, but also includes the uterus, vagina, small bowel or rectum- slip out of place and press against the vagina, causing pain and discomfort.

Pelvic organ prolapse is the loss of muscle strength and connective tissue attachments that support the bladder, uterus, vagina, and rectum. When the support is lost, these organs drop, putting pressure on the vagina or descending through the vaginal opening.

Urinary Problems

Urinary urgency is the feeling that urination is imminent, that it cannot be postponed for more than a matter of moments. When you get the feeling of urinary urgency, you stop what you are doing and rush to the bathroom, either because of severe discomfort or a feeling that you will lose control and wet yourself. Urinary urgency is different from the normal urge to urinate. The normal urge is felt as a vague sensation of fullness in the lower abdomen or as a tingly or sharp sensation at the tip of the penis in men or in the urethra in women. Urge incontinence is a sudden loss of urinary control, associated with the sensation of urgency. In some instances, a person with urge incontinence gets a sudden urge and is able momentarily to prevent the leakage. He or she just barely makes it to the bathroom, but loses control once there. In more severe cases, there may be no more than a second’s warning of urgency before the person simply loses control of his or her bladder.

Stress urinary incontinence, a condition in which there is involuntary leakage of urine associated with physical activity such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, and changing positions. In some instances, the condition is so severe that even standing or walking may precipitate the urinary loss. Stress incontinence is due to a weakness of the urinary sphincter.

More Information on Transvaginal Mesh Injuries

Many women who have suffered from bladder prolapse, pelvic prolapse and other related complications have had transvaginal mesh implanted to treat the problem. Atransvaginal mesh is a surgical mesh made from polyester or polypropylene and feels like a woven fabric and is implanted in the vagina. It reinforces the vaginal wall and creates what is at times referred to as a pelvic sling or baldder sling.

Transvaginal mesh is an effective method for repairing pelvic organ prolapse. A pelvic organ prolapse occurs when your pelvic organs fall out of place. Transvaginal mesh is also effective in the treatment of stress urinary incontinence. However despite its effectiveness in treating pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontince, many women who have used transvaginal mesh implants have complained of complications.

Bowel Perforation

The transvaginal mesh can perforate other organs. This can result in serious complications. It can perforate other pelvic organs such as the bladder and the bowel. Perforation of the bladder and/or the bowel will generally require surgery.

Bowel perforation is a surgical emergency can result in peritonitis or localized abscess. Immediate surgery is required and careful lavage (irrigation or washing out) of the abdominal cavity, along with drainage of any pus or abscess material and administration of antibiotics, is necessary. In spite of these measures, the morbidity (debilitation and prolonged convalescence) and mortality which ensue under this situation can be high.

Mesh Erosion

Too frequently, women implanted with mesh experience mesh erosion, a life-changing side effect that would never happen but for the alleged failure of the device manufactures.  A transvaginal mesh erosion occurs when the mesh works its way through the vaginal wall. The symptoms of transvaginal mesh erosion include infection and pain. Patients suffering from transvaginal mesh erosion may require additional surgical repairs to deal with the damages causes by the erosion.

Dyspareunia

Many women who have had transvaginal mesh implants have complained of dypareunia. Dyspareunia is a recurrent or persistent genital pain associated with sexual intercourse. In simple terms dyspareunia means pain during sex, at the time of the intercourse. The treatment of dyspareunia generally involves dealing with the underlying problem. So to treat dyspreunia that is a result of transvaginal mesh complication, then mesh must be removed.

Other Complications

Other complications associated with transvaginal mesh implants include

• – High fever
• – Vaginal Pain
• – Pelvic Pain
• – Pain During Sex
• – Chronic Infections
• – Perineal Cellulitis
• – Severe Pain in the Back, Hips and Legs

These side effects and complications can result in excruciating pain.

Atransvaginal mesh is a surgical mesh made from polyester or polypropylene and feels like a woven fabric and is implanted in the vagina. It reinforces the vaginal wall and creates what is at times referred to as a pelvic sling or baldder sling.

One of the complications of transvaginal mesh is urinary retention. The patient has difficulty emptying the bladder completely and may also have difficulty starting the urine flow, produce a weak stream, and sometimes be incontinent. Massive urinary retention in the bladder requires catheterization and drainage.

Incontinence

Urinary incontinence is another complication associated with transvaginal mesh implants. Urinary incontinence is the inappropriate and involuntary passage of urine. Urinary incontinence is an issue of quality of life that should be neither ignored nor denied.

Continence is a complex, multi-dimensional phenomenon influenced by anatomical, physiological, psychological and cultural factors. Continence requires intact lower urinary tract function, cognitive and functional ability to recognize voiding signals and use a toilet, the motivation to maintain continence and an environment that facilitates the process. Urination involves voluntary as well as reflexive control or the bladder, urethra, detrusor muscle and urethral sphincter. When the bladder volume reaches approximately 400 milliliters, stretch receptors in the bladder wall send a message to the brain and an impulse for voiding is sent back to the bladder. The detrusor muscle then contracts and the urethral sphincter relaxes to allow urination. Normally the micturition reflect can be inhibited voluntarily (at least for a time) until an individual desires to void or finds an appropriate place for voiding. Urinary incontinence occurs as a result of a disruption at any point during this process.

Types of Incontinence

There are four types of urinary incontinence – stress, urge, overflow and functional. Stress incontinence is an involuntary loss of urine associated with activities that increase intra-abdominal pressure. Urge incontinence is characterized by an involuntary urine loss associated with a strong desire to void. Overflow incontinence is an involuntary loss or urine associated with overdistention of the bladder. It may be caused by an underactive detrusor muscle or outlet obstruction leading to overdistention and overflow. Individuals with overflow incontinence often describe dribbling, urinary retention or hesitancy, urine loss without a recognizable urge or an uncomfortable sensation of fullness or pressure in the lower abdomen. Functional incontinence is caused by non-genitourinary factors such as cognitive and physical impairments that result in an inability for the individual to be independent in voiding.

Atransvaginal mesh is a surgical mesh made from polyester or polypropylene and feels like a woven fabric and is implanted in the vagina. It reinforces the vaginal wall and creates what is at times referred to as a pelvic sling or baldder sling.

The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists (The College) and the American Urogynecologic Society (AUGS) issued a joint statement on transvaginal mesh (TVM), proclaiming the devices should be reserved for use only in high risk patients. The groups also say there is an urgent need for the development of a national registry to track outcomes for all current and future patients who receive vaginal mesh implants.

The recommendations of The College and AUGS include the following:

• – Continued audit and review of outcomes as well as the development of a surveillance registry for all current and future vaginal mesh implants;
• – Outcome reporting for prolapse surgical techniques clearly defining success, complications, and total reoperation rates;
• – Surgeon training for vaginal mesh placement specific to each device, including surgical experience with reconstructive surgery and thorough understanding of pelvic anatomy;
• – Rigorous comparative effectiveness trials of synthetic mesh and native tissue repair and long-term follow-up;
• – Patient counseling that there are alternative native tissue repairs and that synthetic mesh is permanent, as well as discussion of the risks, benefits, and alternatives to the procedure;
• – Limiting use of POP vaginal mesh repair to high-risk women for whom the benefit may justify the risk; and
• – Adoption of new mesh products and devices only with clinical long-term data demonstrating equal or improved safety and efficacy compared with existing products and devices.

Many women who have suffered from bladder prolapse, pelvic prolapse and other related complications have had transvaginal mesh implanted to treat the problem. Atransvaginal mesh is a surgical mesh made from polyester or polypropylene and feels like a woven fabric and is implanted in the vagina. It reinforces the vaginal wall and creates what is at times referred to as a pelvic sling or baldder sling.

Transvaginal mesh is used to treat pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. While in some cases, the mesh may work well, many women have suffered from complications after they have been implanted with a transvaginal mesh to treat pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence.

Recurrence

In many women the use of the transvaginal mesh has only resulted in temporary relief from the problem – pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence. The problem reoccurs after some time. 

Fistula

Many women suffer from fistula after using the transvaginal mesh. In medical terms, a fistula is an abnormal connection between an organ, vessel, or intestine and another structure. Fistulas are usually the result of injury or surgery. Fistulas are tunnels or tracks that link one organ to another. Fistulas often form because of partial blockage in the bowel and the body’s subsequent effort to find another passage through.

Treatment of Fistula

The treatment of fistula depends on the location and the depth of the fistula. Some heal by themselves but often surgery is required to treat fistula. The removal of the transvaginal mesh will not result in automatic healing of the fistula. Even if the cause of the fistula is removed, the fistula is unlikely to cause and heal itself because it develops a skin like lining. Generally the entire fistula must be removed surgically. The post surgery healing can take many weeks. If a fistula becomes blocked, it will get infected and become an abscess.

Dyspareunia

Dyspareunia is yet another complication associated with transvaginal mesh. It causes much heartache for women and it can have a devastating effect on their self-esteem and sexual relationships. Dyspareunia is characterized by genital pain that occurs in association with sexual intercourse. Although it most commonly is experienced during coitus, it can also occur before or after intercourse. The intensity of the symptoms can range from mild discomfort to sharp pain. Treatment of dyspareunia requires the treatment of the underlying medical problem.

 

Dysuria

 

Some women may suffer from dysuria as a result of using a transvaginal mesh to treat pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence. Dysuria is associated with painful urination. It usually starts as a burning sensation at the opening of the urethra and is worst just at the end of urination.

In July 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an update related to what it called ‘serious complications’ related to the use of vaginal mesh for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).  It is now known that complications linked to transvaginal placement of surgical mesh in SUI and POP patients are not rare and can require multiple surgeries to correct problems related to the use of surgical mesh. In fact, the FDA now says that additional surgeries may actually not be able to repair damage caused by implantation of the mesh.

In other words, the side effects of the mesh placement may be permanent.  These complications from transvaginal placement of surgical mesh include:

• -Erosion of the implanted mesh
• -Infection and/or bleeding
• -Pain, including pain during sexual intercourse
• -Problems with organs near the implantation site

More Information on Transvaginal Mesh Injuries

Many women who have suffered from bladder prolapse, pelvic prolapse and other related complications have had transvaginal mesh implanted to treat the problem. Atransvaginal mesh is a surgical mesh made from polyester or polypropylene and feels like a woven fabric and is implanted in the vagina. It reinforces the vaginal wall and creates what is at times referred to as a pelvic sling or baldder sling.

Transvaginal mesh is used to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary inconsistence (SUI); however, the use of transvaginal mesh can result in complications. One such complication is the recurrence of the stress urinary incontinence.

Stress Urinary Incontinence

Stress urinary incontinence occurs when intra abdominal pressure exceed urethral pressure as with coughing or sneezing in the absence of a detrusor contraction. The striated pelvic floor muscles normally support the bladder neck and exert a closing force on the urethra during conditions of heightened intra abdominal pressure. Pelvic floor muscle weakness or laxity can contribute to stress incontinence. Stress incontinence is more prevalent in women as a result of pelvic floor partial denervation injury that occurs during childbirth. Stress incontinence is also seen after prostatectomy due to the disruption of the urethral sphineter or its nerve supply.

Surgical Treatment

Although over 125 operations have been designed to treat stress incontinence, they fall into six general categories. All of the operations are based on the same common principles: (1) to restore the support of the bladder and urethra so that they don’t fall down again and (2) to provide a kind of backboard against which the urethra is compressed during stress. The six categories of operations for stress incontinence include (1) vaginal suspensions, (2) “needle” suspensions, (3) retropubic suspensions, (4) pubovaginal sling operations, (5) prosthetic sphincters, and (6) periurethral injections.

Complications of Surgery

As with any operation, there are possible complications or unexpected results from surgery. The most frequent complication is frequency and urgency of urination – an urge incontinence. Urge is the involuntary loss of urine that occurs when a patient gets so strong an urge to urinate that she cannot hold it back long enough to reach the bathroom. Many patients have these symptoms temporarily after surgery, but as many as 5-20% have them as a persistent problem. At the present time there is no sure way to predict who will have this problem. However, people who have urge incontinence before the operation are much more prone to having the symptoms postoperatively.

More Information on Transvaginal Mesh Injuries

Many women who have suffered from bladder prolapse, pelvic prolapse and other related complications have had transvaginal mesh implanted to treat the problem. Atransvaginal mesh is a surgical mesh made from polyester or polypropylene and feels like a woven fabric and is implanted in the vagina. It reinforces the vaginal wall and creates what is at times referred to as a pelvic sling or baldder sling.

Transvaginal mesh can cause complications in some women. Some women may experience inflammation but is may subside.

Granuloma

In some circumstances, inflammation may persist in the patient. The death of invading polymorphs at an inflamed site with the resultant release of all the cellular enzymes can give rise to a suppurative lesion. A suppurative lesion may continue at the site of the mesh, but the necrotic area may become surrounded by a deposition of fibrous material and white cells to give rise to an abscess. A separation of degenerative and synthetic processes as in the case of an abscess is not always seen, the two processes often occurring simultaneously at the same site. Such a chronic inflammatory mass is called a granuloma.

Dysuria

Painful urination is called dysuria. It usually starts as a burning sensation at the opening of the urethra and is worst just at the end of urination. As the infection worsens, the entire pelvis and lower abdomen begin to ache and burn, sometimes constantly. The usual explanation for the dysuria is that some of the urine spills over into the inflamed vagina and causes pain.

Pelvic Pain

Some women experience pelvic pain that is not associated with their periods. Pelvic pain can be soul destroying because trying to cope with pain day in and day out is extremely tiring and depressing, especially if it is unrelenting. Pelvic pain may be experienced constantly or intermittently. If the pain is intermittent it may be unpredictable and come and go during the day or from day to day. Alternatively, it may be provoked by certain positions, such as sitting, and certain movements, such as reaching up or jogging. The intensity of the pain varies significantly but generally it is a dragging or pulling sensation, a constant dull ache, or a throb. The intensity tends to vary over time so that sometimes the pain is manageable and at other times it is not. The pain may be generalized throughout the pelvic area, or it may affect one side of the pelvic area, or it may be localized to one particular site.

A transvaginal mesh is a surgical mesh made from polyester or polypropylene and feels like a woven fabric and is implanted in the vagina. It reinforces the vaginal wall and creates what is at times referred to as a pelvic sling or baldder sling.

Food and Drug Administration Notification

In October 2008, the United States Food and Drug Administration issued a notification on the serious side effects associated with transvaginal mesh. It identifies transavaginal mesh as an area of continuing serious concern. In July 2011 the United States Food and Drug Adminstration issued an update. According to the update, the serious complications associated with the use of transvaginal mesh are not rare.

Complications

The following complications have been linked to transvaginal mesh:

• Dyspareunia (Pain during sexual intercourse)
• Bleeding
• Infection
• Mesh erosion through the vagina
• Organ perforation
• Pain
• Urinary problems

Dyspareunia

Dyspareunia refers to painful intercourse and can be caused by either psychological or physiological causes. Dyspareunia can sometimes lead to vaginismus. Vaginismus is an involuntary contraction of the outer third of the vagina which, in severe cases, causes the vaginal introitus to close tightly, preventing intercourse.

Vaginismus

Vaginismus is the involuntary contraction of the outer vaginal muscles, making intercourse painful or even impossible. Treatment is aimed at helping the woman to become more familiar with and accepting of her genitals through self-examination and the gradual introduction of different forms of vaginal penetration. Mus-cular control through the use of Kegel exercises may also be useful, in order to learn to relax. The process of gradual genital exploration and penetration should then be repeated by the partner in the context of caressing and pleasuring sessions. The process is one of gradual desen-sitization, although difficult cases may require clinical treatment.

NBC Miami Reports on Surgical Mesh Complications

If you are reading this article, you are likely suffering from pain after a prior surgery implanting a transvaginal mesh device / TVT / TVM system and sling.You may have been diagnosed with stress urinary incontinence or pelvic organ prolapse. Whatever the reason, you are likely in pain today, and we believe we can help you. Please contact us immediately for help, as your time to file suit may be expiring soon.

One particular news source (NBC News in Miami) recently reported on women’s complications from surgical mesh. You can review this video by clicking HERE.

The NBC story is particularly beneficial as it reviews the trials and tribulations of a patient, who visited with Dr. Vivian Aguiliar. Surgical mesh designed to help women has been the focus of an FDA investigation, lawsuits, and even a move to have them recalled. More than 15 hundred reports of complications have been made relating to the mesh, which is implanted during pelvic repair procedures. Dr. Aguilar says mesh should be avoided in women who are sexually active, but might be helpful after menopause when tissues are more fragile and need extra support. The watchdog group Public Citizen petitioned the FDA to recall all surgical mesh products used for POP surgery. That hasn’t happened, but the FDA did issue new guidelines for doctors and patients.

I would encourage all women to view this NBC news story and then contact our team of transvaginal mesh attorneys for more information.
