New York City Transvaginal Mesh Attorney

Have you been harmed by the use of transvaginal mesh?

Unfortunately, there have been a great many cases reported in which women have been harmed by the implantation of transvaginal mesh. This is often used in the treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). If this has happened to you, talk to a New York City transvaginal mesh lawyer about your options for recovering compensation. At Hecht, Kleeger & Damashek, you will find highly skilled legal representation and committed advocates for your rights. With over 60 years of combined experience, we have achieved an exceptional record of success in product liability and medical malpractice cases relating to transvaginal mesh.

Various FDA warnings have been issued regarding the hazards inherent in the use of this mesh. One clinical trial reported in the Obstetrics & Gynecology journal had to be prematurely terminated when 15 percent of women implanted suffered vaginal mesh erosion within three months. The FDA advised that the risks associated with vaginal mesh are so severe that it should be used only after other options have been exhausted. They concluded that further to the dangers involved, the use of the mesh did not necessarily cure the condition being treated nor provide a benefit greater than that which could be achieved by other methods. The potential types of complications include:

• Severe pain
• Infection
• Vaginal discharge
• Vaginal scarring
• Inflammation
• Erosion of vaginal tissue
• Mesh shrinkage or disintegration
• Mesh extrusion (protruding mesh)
• Urinary incontinence
• Pain during sexual intercourse
• Perforations of the bladder, bowel or blood vessels
• Recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse or stress urinary incontinence
