An attorney with our firm can help women harmed by a transvaginal mesh patch

A Weitz & Luxenberg attorney is currently speaking with women who have suffered complications after undergoing surgery where a transvaginal mesh patch was used to repair pelvic organ prolapse problems.

Women who suffered health problems caused by a transvaginal mesh patch may be eligible to file a lawsuit withour attorney. For more information about your legal rights, please complete the form below.

Each year, thousands of women in the U.S. undergo what they believe is “routine” gynecological or other pelvic surgeries to repair problems that can sometimes develop after menopause. The women who develop gynecological or pelvic organ prolapse (POP) problems, or Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI), believe the surgery will result in a return to a way of life without the problems they previously endured.

For countless women, their surgery included the use of a transvaginal mesh patch to reinforce pelvic tissue. Tragically, many of these women experience post-surgical complications and injuries caused when the pelvic mesh fails, and spend months or even years looking for a doctor to take their complaints seriously and to find relief from constant pain and other problems.

FDA Reports of Serious Injuries
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has received a reported over 1,000 reports that were submitted by doctors and other healthcare professionals to the FDA’s Adverse Event Reporting (AERS) Program.

As part of the FDA investigation into thise adverse events, they discovered these women experienced countless health problems caused by a transvaginal mesh patch.

An attorney can help
If you experienced serious injury after undergoing bladder or gynecological surgery that may be caused by the Gynecare surgical mesh system (or that of another transvaginal mesh patch), an attorney may be able to help you to seek compensation for your injury, pain and suffering, and other money to help with bills and other expenses.
