FDA complaints.
In the period between 2005 and 2010, the FDA received ~4,000 complaints indicating that these devices had caused injury, infection and even death in some cases. This forced them to admit that complications arising from transvaginal mesh were not rare and that they needed to issue a nationwide advisory to alert the general public on the potential complications associated with these devices.
Some of the complications arising from transvaginal mesh implantation may not be fully fixed even after multiple surgeries. This is especially true in cases where the device has perforated organs or eroded tissue. In fact, it’s not uncommon for this mesh to fuse with surrounding tissue, making its removal virtually impossible.
Hundreds of thousands of transvaginal mesh procedures are performed every year. However, some of the women who opt for these procedures are either not aware of the long-term effects or are not exposed to studies questioning the safety of transvaginal meshes.
What’s even more disturbing is that Johnson & Johnson (one of the companies who produces transvaginal mesh devices) knew about the dangers and simply didn’t care.
