Vaginal mesh lawsuits

Some vaginal mesh consumers are having issues with the product and have initiated vaginal mesh lawsuits to get compensation for the troubles that they had to undergo as a result of using the product. There are four types of surgical mesh: non-absorbable polyester or polypropylene, absorbable synthetics, animal tissues, and combinations of the above. Most GYN and female urology surgeries use the polyester or polypropylene type of mesh. According to one of the largest analyses of almost 12,000 women, about 10% of women experienced mesh erosion within a year after surgery. This figure includes both synthetic mesh and biologic types. Individual studies have found rates that were as low as 1.2 %, as in a group of 446 women derived from a private uro-gynecology clinic.
