What is Transvaginal Mesh?
It is a surgical mesh that is generally used to repair weakened or damaged tissue. In urogynecologic procedures, surgical mesh is permanently implanted to reinforce the weakened vagina wall to repair pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or to support the urethra to treat stress urinary incontinence (SUI).

How do I know if Transvaginal Mesh was used during my Stress Urinary Incontinence surgery or during my Pelvic Organ Prolapse surgery?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recommends that those who have had Stress Urinary Incontinence surgery or Pelvic Organ Prolapse surgery, and are not sure if the surgeon used mesh, contact their health care provider to find out if the mesh was used.
How much time do I have to file a case?
It varies by state. Most states have at least a two year statute of limitations. Some may be shorter. It is very important to contact a lawyer who can determine your statute of limitations. A claim filed after the statute of limitations will be subject to dismissal by the court.
