Transvaginal Mesh
The FDA has issued an updated safety communication warning doctors and patients that the placement of surgical mesh through the vagina to treat pelvic organ prolapse may present greater risk for the patient than other options. Many reported complications involving the transvaginal mesh implant include the mesh becoming exposed or protruding out of the vaginal tissue, pain, infection, organ perforation, urinary problems, decreased ability to have sexual intercourse, or even death.
