In increasing numbers, women who have suffered from complications of pelvic organ prolapse surgery are seeking out legal counsel.  Complications from the surgery are often related to the use of surgical mesh, which is implanted through the vagina in order to strengthen weakened or damaged pelvic muscles.  Transvaginal mesh has a high failure rate, according to an FDA Safety Alert.  Women experience symptoms ranging from infection and bleeding to debilitating pain and difficulty urinating.  Because symptoms of POP repair surgery failure do not surface immediately, and because the connection between vaginal mesh and health problems was not previously public knowledge, some women and their doctors failed to make a connection between the two.  Aware of the cause of the problem, more patients suffering from this problem feel empowered to initiate a pelvic mesh lawsuit.  Nine different companies manufacture vaginal mesh, all of which are certain to face lawsuits.
