Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) affect a surprisingly large number of American women. In fact, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimates that as many as 50 percent of American women will suffer from POP, even though they may not experience symptoms. Likewise, many patients don’t realize that SUI is not just caused by large movements, but by such seemingly innocuous activities as coughing, sneezing, or laughing.
A transvaginal mesh surgery offers hope to most patients, but disappointment, discomfort, and distress to a large and growing minority. In 2008, the FDA issued its first health warning in which it underscored the disconcerting frequency with which transvaginal mesh patients were experiencing complications. Today, the FDA continues to warn patients about complications because of their frequency and severity.
