Associated Issues About Surgical Mesh

Women who are suffering from pelvic organ prolapsed (POP) are usually recommended for surgical mesh. However, the treatment tends to show some dangers that needed to be attended. Organ prolapsed in the pelvis happen as the neighboring organs fall down to the vagina. It is a very bad condition when internal organs in pelvic protrude in the pathway of the vagina.

Incontinence can also be treated with a surgical mesh device. The disease is characterize when urinating becomes uncontrollable for women during physical movements. The mentioned genital disorders are acquired when the muscle in the pelvis is not strong enough.

Successful surgical mesh implant was primarily conducted in the 90’s. Improved material for the surgical mesh is one of the device progress being produced. The innovation is sited to minimize the possibility of disorder recurrence.

Contradictory to the assumptions, the improved implant has shown negative side effects. Proximate pelvic organs including the vagina can be wounded from the frayed edges of the mesh implant. Painful sensation around the groin and in the pelvic are being felt by patients with the implanted mesh. Pain during sexual intercourse can also experience. The unique negative reaction in using the vaginal mesh is when the mesh gradually separates further from the wall of the vagina. Most often the mesh exposed from the vaginal opening is being termed by the doctor as mesh exposure or erosion.Erosion is the common term used by doctors when the mesh can be seen from the opening of the vagina.

The method is conducted by a mesh kit material securely implanted inside the vagina as a foundation of the prolapsed organs in the pelvis. Adverse effects are still permissible even if the transvaginal mesh can effectively provide additional support towards the affected internal organs of the pelvis.

Further research and more procedural study are not enough. All of the outcome of the all the researches shows a large percent of vaginal injuries being contributed by the implanted transvaginal mesh.The surgical mesh is the main cause of the high number of damaged being inflicted in the vagina according to the only studies being expended. 60 percent of the women who had used the mesh method had the side effects after one year, while only 34 percent claimed the method’s effectiveness without the complications.

On July 2012, FDA published another warning against surgical mesh because of the mounting complaints. Perforation of the organ was one of the most common reports. There are already seven patients whose death are being contributed to the failure of surgical mesh implant as a prolapsed treatment. FDA thinks that the traditional prolapsed treatment is more effective compared to using surgical mesh implant. Manufacturers are required by FDA to instigate a three year phase study of the products to check if it is safe and truly effective.
