The Law Offices of William J. Maniatis New York personal injury law firm has seen many recent cases involving complications with transvaginal surgical mesh. This article is to inform readers about those risks and the legal options available for compensation.

In 2008, the first FDA announced that patients undergoing surgical pelvic organ prolapse repairs with a surgical mesh may be at a greater risk for complications than other treatments for pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). In the announcement, the agency claimed that in the past three years it had received more than 1000 reports of mesh complications from nine different manufacturers.

The manufacturers of transvaginal meshes failed to warn patients and doctors about the following increased risks:

• Mesh erosion
• Infection
• Bleeding
• Pain during sex
• Urinary problems
• Discomfort
• Vaginal scarring
• Bowel, bladder and blood vessel perforation
