Transvaginal Mesh Revision Surgeries

Did you have to undergo corrective surgery?

Because transvaginal mesh implants have a high rate of failure, thousands of women are looking to revisionary surgeries to correct problems caused by the implant. Unfortunately, these surgeries may not always work. Sometimes, surgery is not possible or multiple surgeries are required. Doctors have the ability to make different types of revisions, depending on the type of complication that has occurred. Women eligible for surgery may suffer from mesh erosion, mesh extrusion, fistula, obstruction of the urethra, bowel or bladder injuries, damaged blood vessels or nerve injuries. Although the mesh may be repositioned or moved several days after it is implanted, many patients choose to have the sling replaced.

Many women who need revision surgery suffer from extreme pain for months before they are able to receive revision surgery. Removing a defective mesh implant and replacing it with a new one is a complicated and intensive surgical procedure. On top of this, doctors must usually perform multiple operations before the mesh can be completely replaced. In other scenarios, patients may not be able to replace the mesh, but doctors may have difficulty removing the faulty one. Even skilled surgeons may have difficulty removing pieces of the mesh implant that have become fused to nearby tissue and organs.

According to one doctor from the American congress of Obstetricians and Gynecologists, mesh implants are supposed to be permanent; removing them may take many painful operations. Additionally, removal is expensive and time consuming. Even successful removal may not reverse problems caused by the failing medical product. After revision or removal, the original POP condition remains unaddressed. Many medical professionals are fixing POP using older procedures - procedures that are not as damaging or uncomfortable as transvaginal mesh implants.
