Over the past decade, a large number of women have reported complications associated with the use of vaginal mesh during pelvic organ prolapse repair surgery. As such, affected women may be entitled to recover compensation for their damages – which may include their medical bills, pain and suffering and more.
Complications: Eroded Mesh and Infection
There are a few different ways pelvic organ prolapse repair surgery can be performed. It can either be done through the abdomen or the vagina, and the surgeon may use stitches or surgical mesh for the repair.
Unfortunately, when the procedure is performed through the transvaginal placement of surgical mesh, women are at an increased risk for a number of serious complications, including:
- Mesh erosion, which can occur within weeks after surgery.
- Bleeding.
- Urinary problems.
- Vaginal scarring.
- Infection.
- Painful sex.
- Discomfort.
- Bowel, bladder, and blood vessel perforation.
In an attempt to overcome these challenges and improve their symptoms, many women have undergone multiple revision surgeries. However, the physical and emotional effects often remain and can continue to affect a woman’s entire life – including her career and personal relationships. An experienced personal injury attorney in Miami can help you understand your legal options, gather the necessary evidence to support your claim, and pursue the full compensation you deserve. Because the effects of these injuries are broad and can be long-lasting, it’s important to seek just compensation for your suffering.
