Tragically, thousands of patients who are given a transvaginal mesh to treat their pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI) have no idea of the health risks they’re taking – or even that the FDA has emphatically warned of the effects of these medical devices.
Those patients who understand that some risk exists often think that the incidence of injury is rare. They couldn’t be more mistaken. An FDA report released earlier this year advised that complications are not rare, that there is no evidence that a transvaginal mesh device is more effective than traditional surgical options, and that these devices put patients at greater risk than traditional procedures.
The attorneys at Fears Nachawati are leading the charge against the makers of these dangerous devices.
