Vaginal mesh was created to be a low-risk solution for a number of
women who were undergoing a life-altering pain related to pelvic organ
prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). However, it
allegedly causes health risks and complications: Vaginal mesh surgery
became a popular procedure when companies like C.R. Bard introduced
Avaulta. Avaulta is one of the many brands of a surgical mesh product
used for implantation in the vaginal wall to provide support to the
pelvic organs.
The design was centered on a form of surgical mesh that has been
used to make the abdominal muscles stronger of patients who have
hernias. Sadly, the idea of vaginal mesh was better on plans than in
reality. Thousands of women underwent vaginal mesh surgery only to
sustain permanent injuries.
Some complications of Avaulta vaginal mesh include perforation of the
bladder, internal bleeding in the pelvic region, and pain during
urination and sexual intercourse.
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA has not yet recalled any
vaginal mesh devices, but it recommends that women should weigh the good
and the harm of the surgery. The FDA advised that women should ask
their physicians regarding other ways to treat their vaginal problems.
A number of law groups advise that those who have been affected by
Avaulta vaginal mesh devices and surgeries have the legal right to
demand compensation from the manufacturers. Additionally, the affected
patients of the Avaulta vaginal mesh dangers are qualified to file
similar legal action. Therefore, the victims should seek legal advice
for them to be guided accordingly.
An Avaulta vaginal mesh lawsuit allows women who are experiencing bladder complications the opportunity to get settlements from mesh manufacturers that will help cover their medical bills, pain and suffering and other damages resulting from their mesh surgery complications.
