Surgeon: Vaginal Mesh Implant Failure Revisions Underwhelm
By John Curran
In an emergency room, a surgeon understands that some procedures are just not going to work. Trying to fix the results of an elective surgery that causes bladder sling implant failures should not fall into that group. Unfortunately, a doctor from the Weill Cornell Medical College says that is exactly the case.
Women who use these vaginal mesh implant medical devices should note that the surgeon had three successful procedures out of every four. Unfortunately, a success only means that vaginal mesh implant failure victims had fewer side effects than they did before the procedure. The doctor in New York noted that the overwhelming majority were still doing a lot worse than they had before the implant.
The number of surgeries was staggering. On average, each woman had already had two surgeries before visiting this urological surgeon. Bladder sling implant failure side effects like vaginal wall punctures and organ puncture were common. In addition, pain was still common even after his procedures in half of those treated.
Many of these same patients still had to go under the knife again for follow-up procedures. That means that for a given vaginal mesh implant failure victim, they faced four procedures after the initial surgery. The recovery alone can keep patients out of work for weeks, and the ongoing trauma can make it difficult to live a normal life, or even enjoy an evening with a spouse.
In addition to pain and organ punctures, the transvaginal mesh implant failure can lead to infections and even internal bleeding. For many women, it comes down to what type of device was used and their bodies’ specific geometry. Unfortunately, the rate of failures is high enough to lead to an assortment of conditions.
