Serious Complications with Surgical Mesh for Gynecologic Surgery

[Adamlikesgoodmusic]

It is a nightmare. I had this mesh for a stage 2 bladder drop and my surgeon told me nothing at all about the warning or complications. I am in only 49 was in great shape. I am having to drive 5 hrs. to a specialist to get this stuff out of me. It is malpractice on the physicians part!!! The FDA should also take it off the market!!

I have been using this mesh for 4 years, approx 200 patients with no significant complications. This mesh has been thrust apon the public by physicians who have gone to a weekend course and come home to try it out without proper training or mentoring. Performed correctly it is exceedingly safe and effective. It is a shame that women and physicians will have to resort to inferior types of traditional surgery with at least a 30% failure rate.

This mesh is wrecking peoples lives, I wonder how many people have not been warned about it in the UK. Please ask for full advice about this mesh and what the results can be because they can be horrendous, and extremely painful.

My adverse report was forwarded to the FDA on serious complications associated with the Ethicon Gynecare Transvaginal Tension Free Medical Device. I had the device implanted October 2005 with ongoing health issues ever since, it is a living nightmare to cope with.
