The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recently published troubling statistics about transvaginal mesh (TVM) procedures. Simply put, the failure rate for this medical device is troublingly high, suggesting that the maker and marketer of this health device may have been irresponsible with their designs or advertisements.
In any given year, roughly 500,000 women undergo TVM procedures, usually for either pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Although the majority of these patients experience no problem, a large and growing minority report adverse events, such as pain, discomfort, and infection. Many are required to see a medical professional for follow-up procedures and care.
