Surgical  mesh was the subject of a 2011 FDA Safety Alert that has prompted many  lawsuits.  Surgical mesh is a synthetic  product that is implanted into weakened or damaged muscle tissues to repair and  strengthen the muscles.  It has used in  abdominal muscle repair very successfully for decades.  More recently, surgical mesh has been used in  pelvic organ prolapse repair surgery.   Pelvic organ prolapse is a condition that occurs in women after childbirth  or pelvic surgery in which the pelvic muscles can no longer provide adequate  support to the pelvic organs.  The  organs, such as the uterus, bladder, and bowels sag into the vaginal cavity.  Repair of the pelvic muscles with surgical  mesh has been found to be dangerous; a significant percentage of women  experience adverse side effects like repeated prolapse, incontinence, pain,  infection and bleeding due to the mesh.   Since the FDA Safety Alert was released, more women have been seeking  the legal counsel of a pelvic mesh  lawyer and suing one of nine companies that manufacture the product.  Women who suffer from these side effects  require one or more (in some cases more than ten!) revision surgeries to extract  the troublesome pieces of vaginal mesh.  Find more information at www.pelvicmeshlawyers.com.
