Transvaginal mesh lawyers - Helping women who underwent pelvic organ prolapse surgery with this product

Transvaginal mesh lawyers from our firm are currently investigating cases of women who suffered serious post-surgical complications and injuries after undergoing gynecological or pelvic surgery where a transvaginal mesh patch was used.

If you have experienced complications from transvaginal surgical mesh such as the Gynecare pelvic mesh or Bard Avaulta mesh patch, we may be able to help you to seek compensation for your injuries. Please complete the form below to obtain important information about your legal rights and options.

According to a 2008 medical journal article published by the Australian Royal College of Obstetrics and Gynecology studying the use of surgical mesh, slings and other surgical support devices to treat pelvic organ prolapse problems, over 200,000 women in the United States undergo these types of procedures each year.

The need for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI) surgery arises in when the muscles that hold pelvic organs in place weaken, causing the bladder, uterus or other pelvic organs to prolapse. The problems develop from a number of conditions, including women with large families, those that have undergone previous pelvic organ surgeries (including Cesarean sections), and women who have had multiple birth pregancies.

Serious Complications Caused by Mesh Patches
Tragically, many women who undergo POP or SUI surgery develop serious complications and pelvic organ injury caused by the mesh patches. Women have reported constant pain that prevents them from engaging in normal, everyday activities, with some women reporting stress and pain when sitting for extended periods of time and even when trying to sleep.

Women have also reported that the mesh has caused tearing and scarring of vaginal and other pelvic tissue and protruded into the vaginal area, causing considerable pain for both the women and their partners during intercourse.

In the most serious cases, the failed mesh patches have caused the organ prolapse condition to recur, and have left women with chronic bladder and bowel incontinence problems, sometimes much worse than before they underwent POP or SUI surgery.
