Our Pearland, TX medical device injury attorneys note that a couple of recent studies have demonstrated that using natural tissue instead of manmade surgical mesh produces far better, and safer, results for patients undergoing pelvic organ prolapse (POP) repairs. The surgical mesh used in transvaginal prolapse repairs was originally designed for the far less invasive procedure of hernia repairs.
FDA rules that allowed medical devices (such as the surgical mesh implant) that were “substantially equivalent” to a medical device already on the market to receive expedited approval without further testing. So… the transvaginal surgical mesh implants used in the highly invasive POP repairs were never subject to clinical trials and human testing before they were used on hundreds of thousands of women already in desperate pain from prolapse.
Medical Science has not yet Invented an Effective Replacement for Natural Tissue in POP Repair
As yet, medical science just does not have a way yet to fully replace with artifice the strength and flex of natural tissue. Natural strength, combined with a certain amount of “give,” seems to be what a patient with severe POP requires to adequately support the prolapsed internal organs without complications. Our Pearland, TX medical device injury attorneys emphasize that the surgical mesh implants that are now a major focus of lawsuits have proven themselves inadequate to the task of safe and effective prolapse repair.
I know quite a few women with severe vaginal prolapse problems who have had to undergo corrective surgeries more than once as their surgical mesh repairs failed. Our Pearland, TX medical device injury attorneys recognize that surgeries of all types have potential complications. Your age, immune system strength, and overall heath condition strongly affect your risk for surgical complications.
In the case of surgical mesh implantations for POP repair, the real problem is the use of a medical device inappropriate for the task to which it’s assigned. If you’re facing severe prolapse, talk to your doctor, get a second opinion, and research potential treatments before submitting to medical device implant surgery.
Juries are Already Awarding Injured Women and Their Spouses Millions of Dollars in Compensation
And know that juries have already begun awarding women injured by the surgical mesh implantationsmillions of dollars in damages awards. Of course, no monetary compensation can ever provide true relief for a failed medical device, but your compensation award could help hold medical device manufacturers accountable for their callous disregard of your health and well-being. In their competitive rush for profits, manufacturers don’t want to spend the necessary time or money to ensure that the products they market are actually safe for use in your body.
