Potential TVM Complications

Potential TVM Complications

Types of Potential TVM Complications

Women who suffered tranvaginal mesh complications after undergoing pelvic organ prolapse repair surgery with a transvaginal mesh have most likely experienced undeserved pain and discomfort, and may have legal recourse.

Because the manufacturers of transvaginal meshes for bladder prolapse did not warn patients and doctors about the heightened risks associated with TVM, women suffering mesh complications may be able to file a claim seeking compensation for medical bills, pain and suffering, and other damages.

Transvaginal mesh is marketed by several manufacturers, including:

American Medical Systems
Boston Scientific
Johnson & Johnson
Caldera
C.R. Bard, Inc.
Ethicon
Gynecare
Mentor
Sofradim

The following are among the vaginal mesh complications reported by women who underwent pelvic organ prolapse repair surgery with a transvaginal mesh:

Mesh erosion
Infection
Urinary problems
Recurrence of prolapse or incontinence
Discomfort
Bleeding
Vaginal scarring
Bowel, bladder, and blood vessel perforation
Pain during sex

According to the FDA, most patients reported that they needed medical or surgical intervention, and some required hospitalization.

If you underwent surgery with a mesh in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse, and you experienced these or other mesh complications, you may have legal recourse. We are personal injury attorneys who offer help and support to those who received a transvaginal mesh sling, or transvaginal tape system, because of pelvic organ prolapse, and as a result have sustained injuries including mesh erosion, infections, pain, and even reoccurrence of urinary incontinence.

If you or someone you love has experienced mesh erosion, bleeding, urinary infections, vaginal scarring, pain during sexual intercourse, failure to conduct sexual intercourse, the Strom Law Firm can help you.
