Transvaginal surgical mesh implants, also known as slings, have been associated with a very high rate of medical complications which have resulted in serious ongoing medical conditions. Transvaginal mesh or sling procedures are generally performed to repair pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
In an effort to repair weakened vaginal walls, a pelvic mesh is surgically implanted into the vagina. This is done with the intention to repair weakened vaginal walls.
In July 2001, the FDA issued a Safety Alert warning of possible complications associated with transvaginal mesh when insert through the vagina. The alert was targeted towards health providers, doctors, surgeons, and existing transvaginal mesh patients or those contemplating undergoing the transvaginal mesh operation.
The FDA communication for all medical providers was intended to alert them that Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) as well as Stress Urinary Incontinence also known as SUI are symptoms associated with known complications.
