Transvaginal mesh injuries

Boston Scientific’s vaginal mesh products are meant to support prolapsed organs and improve symptoms associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP). In 2011, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) determined that transvaginally placed mesh in POP repair “does not conclusively improve clinical outcomes over traditional non-mesh repair.”
According to the FDA, there have been almost 4,000 reports of injuries following implantation of a transvaginal mesh device from 2005 to 2010. As of October 2013, the multidistrict products liability litigation that includes Boston Scientific’s pelvic repair system includes 6,983 claims.

Some of the injuries and side effects reported by victims of defective transvaginal mesh products include:

  • Urinary issues
  • Feeling pressure in lower abdomen
  • Pain during sexual intercourse
  • Pain and emotional distress
  • Perforation of bowels/bladder/blood vessels
  • Chronic infection
  • Vaginal scarring

Correcting side effects and problems associated with defective transvaginal mesh products can require patients to undergo corrective surgeries. Sometimes, the patient may have to undergo more than one surgery in order to undo the damage. For some, the complications will continue indefinitely and these women will experience a lowered quality of life.
