Complications with the Transvaginal Mesh (TVM) and Transvaginal Tape (TVT) Devices

Ever since it was introduced in the market, the transvaginal mesh has revolutionized the management of stress incontinence. Stress incontinence characteristically occurs when the patient stands up, coughs, laughs, or sneezes. The patient usually is dry in between these episodes and at night. Stress incontinence is caused by weakness of the urinary sphincter and/or perineal muscles, which allows small quantities of urine to be passed when the intraabdominal pressure is suddenly increased, and exceeds the pressure of the internal sphincter, as occurs during sneezing, laughing, and coughing. Stress incontinence also may result from anatomical changes that interfere with the urethrovesical angle (the angle between the urinary bladder and urethra). In women, the change may be a result of several pregnancies and childbirth or surgical interventions. In addition, estrogen deficiency in postmenopausal women often leads to urethral inflammation, which is associated with senile vaginitis that may further aggravate stress incontinence. The use of synthetic mesh to support the urethra allowed a minimally invasive approach to surgery that could be performed under local anesthetic without hospital admission.

A safety communication released by the United States Food and Drug Administration the serious complications associated with transvaginal meshes are not rate. In the three years from 2008 till 2010, serious complications were reported in 0.67% of the over 200,000 transvaginal mesh implant surgeries carried during that period.

A recently concluded research conducted in Canada has revealed that surgeon experience significantly affects complication rates of pelvic organ prolapse repair using mesh. Vaginal mesh exposure rates varied between 2.9% and 15.6% in one series comparing experienced surgeons to clinical fellows in training. Risks associated with the use of mesh can be minimized by ensuring that surgeons are experienced, specific meshes are well tested before coming to market, and that mesh is used when the benefit outweighs the risk.

Our team of attorneys is reviewing case evaluations for women across the country who have received TVM and TVT products from manufactures such as C.R. Bard, Avaulta, Boston Scientific, and Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon.

The Problem

In 2008, the FDA first released concerns about the safety of transvaginal placement of mesh. From 2008 to 2010, the FDA received three to five times as many adverse reports associated with mesh used for pelvic organ prolapse repair than what agency received from 2005 to 2007 (nearly 1,000 reports of adverse events were received from 2005-2007).

Many of these patients complain because of erosion or contraction of the mesh material (which has been described as being of a similar material as Rubbermaid storage containers).  The erosion leads to bleeding, severe pelvic pain, painful (or impossible) sexual performance and a recurrence of urinary problems.

In July 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an update related to what it called ‘serious complications’ related to the use of vaginal mesh for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).  It is now known that complications linked to transvaginal placement of surgical mesh in SUI and POP patients are not rare and can require multiple surgeries to correct problems related to the use of surgical mesh. In fact, the FDA now says that additional surgeries may actually not be able to repair damage caused by implantation of the mesh.

In other words, the side effects of the mesh placement may be permanent.  These complications from transvaginal placement of surgical mesh include:

• -Erosion of the implanted mesh
• -Infection and/or bleeding
• -Pain, including pain during sexual intercourse
• -Problems with organs near the implantation site

First Trials Set in TVM MDL in West Virginia

Judge Goodwin of the Southern District of West Virginia is overseeing three transvaginal mesh device MDLs, including those manufactured by American Medical Systems, Inc. (MDL No. 2325), Boston Scientific Corp. (MDL No. 2326) and Ethicon, Inc., a unit of Johnson & Johnson (MDL No. 2327). All of the lawsuits pending in the litigations allege that the transvaginal mesh devices used in pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI) repair surgeries caused women to suffer serious complications, including vaginal erosion, inflammation, infection, chronic pain and organ damage.

Bellwether trials are used when a large group of plaintiffs have filed suit based on the same theories or claims. Verdicts in these key trials will help gauge how juries might rule in similar transvaginal mesh lawsuits pending in the Bard Avaulta litigation.

The first bellwether trial in the C.R. Bard Inc. Pelvic Repair System Products Liability Litigation (MDL 2187) has been scheduled to start on February 5, 2013. Currently, 600 lawsuits naming Bard Avaulta transvaginal mesh products are pending in the litigation in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia. The date for the first Bard Avaulta transvaginal mesh trial was set by Judge Goodwin.

FREE NATIONWIDE CASE EVALUATIONS: CALL 1-800-632-1404

Our team of attorneys are now investigating claims and prepared to file Mirena lawsuitsinvolving the intrauterine contraceptive device Mirena®. Manufactured by Bayer Healthcare Pharmaceuticals, Inc., Mirena is an IUD device [intrauterine device] that must be inserted by a trained health care provider and is intended to provide contraceptive protection for up to five years. Some women have experienced serious adverse side-effects and potentially life-threatening complications following the implantation of theMirena device, including perforation of or imbedment in the uterus.

Analysis says many clinical trials are small, have quality issues.

Reuters (5/2, Pittman) reports that an analysis published in the Journal of the American Medical Association indicates that many clinical trials testing drugs and devices are small and the quality is not consistent.

MedPage Today (5/2, Smith) reports that investigators analyzed “the more than 95,000 studies registered since 2004″ in the ClinicalTrials.gov database. The researchers found “that the database is dominated by small studies, many conducted at a single center, with significant differences that would make them hard to compare.” The investigators, “for much of the analysis…concentrated on interventional trials in three areas — oncology, cardiology, and mental illness — that included a total of 79,413 studies.”

HealthDay (5/2, Dotinga) reports that altogether, “seven percent of the studies didn’t bother to mention their purpose, while others failed to provide other important details.” The researchers found that “62 percent of the trials from 2007-2010 were small, with 100 or fewer participants.” Just “four percent had more than 1,000 participants.”

Medscape (5/2, Brown) reports, “Mental health trials were more likely than cardiovascular and oncology trials to report use of” data monitoring committees. The researchers found that “oncology trials were least likely to use randomization (64.7% didn’t use randomization, vs 26.2% for cardiovascular trials and 20.8% for mental health trials), and 87.6% of oncology trials were not blinded.”

Unnecessary Surgery for Hysterectomy

Mirena is alleged to have many side effects. Mirena is an interuterine contraceptive device {IUD}. Our team includes Mirena attorneys that want to provide information to women or their loved ones about making a Mirena claim or to discuss a Mirena lawsuit.

The number of laparoscopic hysterectomy is rising; however, there still are technical problems and disadvantages in the procedure that need further research. In laparoscopic surgical procedures, the surgeon loses direct contact with the surgical site. His vision is restricted. Instead of seeing the entire surgical field including adjacent organs, he can see only the point of surgery, and his view depends on the angle of the camera. The surgeon does not have the tactile feedback of open surgery due to the length of the shaft of the surgical instruments. In addition, the freedom of movement of the video camera and the long-shafted instruments is limited because they are fixed in the abdominal wall. This forces the surgeon into uncomfortable and unnatural body postures affecting the outcome of the operation.

Positions especially when they are static, lead to cramps, muscle pain and rapid fatigue. This can possibly result in an adverse event. Several factors inherent in laparoscopic surgery result in postures that are far from the ideal.

When performing laparoscopic procedures, factors inherent to that type of surgery constrain not only the surgeons’ posture but also their view of the surgical site. Those factors can contribute to error and subsequent adverse outcomes.

The surgical instruments are limited because they can be moved only in certain directions: they can be inserted and removed; moved at an angle about the fulcrum, the point of support at the entry port; rotated about a longitudinal axis as in turning the instrument inside the body cavity; and made to open and close. These limitations restrict the surgeons’ movement of the instruments and frequently force awkward postures of the arms and shoulders, hence can influence the execution of the surgical procedure.

Typically, one thinks of surgical instruments as reusable; however, reusable instruments can be difficult to clean and reassemble after cleaning. Lack of standardization of instruments from different manufacturers sometimes creates difficulties during the operation. Loose working parts on the ends of the instruments such as laparoscopic graspers, an instrument with end-effectors that are expected to grasp tissue, can be ineffective. The surgeon may not be able to identify that problem until the instrument is removed from the abdominal cavity and visually examined, when the loose working parts become obvious.

If you have suffered an injury from a Mirena device, please contact us for help.

Side Effects Discussed in More Detail

Some women who have had Mirena implanted experienced serious and even debilitating or life-threatening side-effects. The device may migrate from its original position after being inserted, perforating the uterus or embedding itself in the uterus. In both instances, a doctor must locate and surgically remove the device. Mirena may also migrate outside the uterine cavity and cause adhesions or scarring that can lead to infertility. Depending on the damage caused, affected women may require a complete hysterectomy, and more serious complications could result in death.

Serious side effects that have been linked to Mirena include:

• - Abscesses
• - Embedment in the uterus
• - Erosion of adjacent areas such as the vagina
• - Infertility
• - Inflammation of the membrane that lines the abdominal cavity and internal organs (Peritonitis)
• - Intestinal perforations or obstruction
• - Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
• - Perforation of the uterus

If you experienced adverse Mirena side effects, required surgery or have a loved one who suffered death following the implantation of Mirena, you may have a potentialMirena lawsuit.

TVM Complications

Transvaginal mesh is used to treat stress urinary incontinence and pelvic organ prolapse. Many patients have reported suffering from complications caused by the use of transvaginal mesh. In many cases, the mesh is known to have perforated the nearby organs leading to further complications.

Bladder or urethera perforation is a common side effect of the transvaginal mesh. In some cases, despite the best efforts of physicians and surgeons, sometimes the bladder or the urethra has been so severely damaged that it no longer serves its intended purpose and the person is rendered hopelessly incontinent. In such cases, the only hope for the person to achieve complete continence, remain confidently dry, and lead a normal life is reconstructive surgery. These operations use part of the intestines to replace the functions of the bladder and urethra. There are two kinds of operations that are done: one is called cystoplasty; the other, urinary diversion.

Both of these operations are major surgeries that require an inpatient stay of about 3 to 10 days or more. Because your intestines will be used in the operation, preoperative bowel preparation is necessary. This means that all bowel contents (feces) need to be evacuated and the bowel sterilized. The bowel prep usually begins on the day prior to surgery. You’ll probably be instructed to have a liquid diet and you’ll be given a cathartic to clean out the intestinal tract.

As with any other procedure there are potential complications. Life threatening complications are very rare and occur in less than 1% of patients. Internal bleeding is a potential complication but, for practical purposes, it is very rare unless the operation is being done in conjunction with removal of the bladder for cancer. Respiratory (breathing) complications such as collapse of a portion of a lung or pneumonia are not uncommon in this or any other abdominal operation but are usually quite minor and rarely prolong the hospital stay. The usual treatment is physiotherapy to the lungs and sometimes antibiotics. The most serious complications are bowel obstruction, ureteral obstruction, and leakage of urine through the reservoir or conduit into the abdominal cavity. Bowel obstruction can occur if the intestine becomes scarred or twisted. The usual symptoms are nausea, vomiting, and crampy abdominal pain.

Our team of attorneys is reviewing case evaluations for women across the country who have received TVM and TVT products from manufactures such as C.R. Bard, Avaulta, Boston Scientific, and Johnson & Johnson’s Ethicon.

TVM Complications

Dyspareuia can be particularly hard on partners, who may bear the brunt of their loved one’s frustrations as well as having to care for her. Relationships are put under great strain and partners often find themselves having to take on primary responsibility for nurturing the relationship. As a result, partners may have to draw on all their reserves of patience and goodwill.

Being the partner of someone with dyspareuia is demanding but try to do your best to be a supportive, understanding and thoughtful partner. Above all, believe in her and regularly reassure her that you love her, especially when she is feeling down or unwell. At the same time, do not forget that your needs and feelings are important too. In particular, do not bottle up your feelings and take time out if you need to.

Try to actively build and strengthen your relationship by honestly sharing your feelings and talking over your frustrations, concerns, aspirations and day-to-day happenings. Make finding the time to talk a high priority. Being open and honest with each other will help you to overcome the stresses imposed by the endometriosis and will help to ensure neither partner feels that their needs are being neglected.

Being the partner of a woman with dyspareuia can be difficult. Do not be afraid to accept or ask for help from family and friends or to seek paid help if you need it. If you need emotional support, you may benefit from talking to another man in your situation or seeing a professional counselor. Try to make sure that you get the help you need, when you need it. If you allow yourself to get completely overwhelmed and out of control you will not be able to support your partner and you will place the relationship at risk. After all, prevention is usually easier than trying to pick up the pieces afterwards.

If you are able to provide practical or emotional support you can be a wonderful asset for her. Read about dyspareuia and its treatments and talk to her about what you have read. She can then talk to you about her disease and concerns if she wishes. If she is hesitant to talk respect her privacy but let her know that you are willing to listen when she is ready to talk.

The Problem

In 2008, the FDA first released concerns about the safety of transvaginal placement of mesh. From 2008 to 2010, the FDA received three to five times as many adverse reports associated with mesh used for pelvic organ prolapse repair than what agency received from 2005 to 2007 (nearly 1,000 reports of adverse events were received from 2005-2007).

Many of these patients complain because of erosion or contraction of the mesh material (which has been described as being of a similar material as Rubbermaid storage containers).  The erosion leads to bleeding, severe pelvic pain, painful (or impossible) sexual performance and a recurrence of urinary problems.

In July 2011, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued an update related to what it called ‘serious complications’ related to the use of vaginal mesh for treatment of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).  It is now known that complications linked to transvaginal placement of surgical mesh in SUI and POP patients are not rare and can require multiple surgeries to correct problems related to the use of surgical mesh. In fact, the FDA now says that additional surgeries may actually not be able to repair damage caused by implantation of the mesh.

In other words, the side effects of the mesh placement may be permanent.  These complications from transvaginal placement of surgical mesh include:

• -Erosion of the implanted mesh
• -Infection and/or bleeding
• -Pain, including pain during sexual intercourse
• -Problems with organs near the implantation site

TVM Complications

Many women who have had tranvaginal mesh implants have complained of complications. One common complication associated with transvaginal mesh implants is dyspareuia. Dealing with dyspareuia can be a tough task.

Depression is commonly experienced by women trying to come to terms with the fact that they have dyspareuia. Depression can be caused or exacerbated by a number of factors: the stress of coping with dyspareuia that drains you of energy; the strain of living with constant pain; stressed relationships; uncertainty over your future health, wellbeing or lifestyle; the disappointment of not being able to conceive; or a combination of all these. The most important thing to remember when trying to deal with depression is that it is a phase you will get through. Depression, like anger, is a normal part of the grieving process and you must allow yourself the time and space to grieve for what your diagnosis has taken away from you.

Dyspareuia inevitably leads to some degree of isolation because you cannot participate fully in the world around you. Your sense of isolation is often made worse if your partner, family and friends do not know about the disease and how it affects you. Ignorance is the most common reason for people being unsupportive or unsympathetic so, although it is often difficult, you owe it to yourself to tell your loved ones about the disease and its effects on you. This knowledge will enable them to support you more effectively and protect your relationships with them.

Many women feel guilty about the impact the disease has on their lives and relationships. Some feel guilty because they cannot fulfill all their responsibilities to their families and their relatives have to look after them from time to time. Many women suffer terrible guilt because they cannot have a normal sexual relationship with their partner.

Coping with your dyspareuia may be easy or it may need all the strength you can muster. Regardless of how easy or hard it is, take one step at a time and give yourself plenty of time to work through the difficulties. Most likely, you will not be able to deal with everything at once. It may help to choose one or two problems you want to tackle at the moment and then work out what you need to do in order to deal with them. Remember, tackling a problem does not necessarily mean solving it—it may just mean getting it under better control so that it is less disruptive to your life.

TVM Complications

One of the complications commonly associated with transvaginal mesh is dyspareunia or painful sexual intercourse. This causes much heartache for women and it can have a devastating effect on their self-esteem and sexual relationships.

Dyspareunia includes such sensations as tearing, burning, aching, and pressure. Dyspareunia can have both physical and psychological causes. It can be caused by gynecological and urological disorders, including diseases of the urethra and bladder. The formation of fibrous plaques, adhesions, or lesions in the genital tract may also produce pain during intercourse.

A woman with dyspareunia experiences pain in the genital area before, during, or after sexual intercourse. The duration, nature and intensity of the pain vary across individuals, but it is generally felt during sexual intercourse. She may have to undergo therapy to control the pain. The main goal of therapy is to help the woman to enjoy sexual contact and to become sexually aroused. Different positions for intercourse, which avoid deep penetration, and exercises to increase the focus on genital sensations are the main elements of treatment.

Sometimes the pain may become unbearable thereby preventing the woman from enjoying an active sexual life. This can affect the woman emotionally and also affect her confidence. Living with dyspareunia involves more than just living with the physical symptoms. It also means living with the gamut of emotions that accompany the disease, and these emotions can be intense. However, understanding the emotions and realizing that you are not alone in feeling them can help make them easier to cope with.

Many women who suffer from dyspareuia are gripped by confusion and fear as the they start to realize that dyspareuia is not a simple disease that can be cured with a short course of tablets. Another common emotion experienced by women is anger. Of course you are angry that this disease has happened to you.

Having to undergo treatment can also be frustrating. The treatments are not usually pleasant and almost all of them have some disrupting side effects. In addition, there is the added uncertainty of whether or not a treatment will work. An unsuccessful treatment can lead to intense disappointment and frustration.

Summary of Claims for Injury

The aim of surgeries for incontinence and prolapse is to tighten the tissues around the bladder neck and to improve the ability of the pelvic floor muscles to control the flow of urine from the bladder, in the case of urinary incontinence, and to tuck up and hold in place the vaginal walls and attached structures (bladder and bowel) that droop and drag due to prolapse.

These days, transvaginal mesh is used to treat incontinence and proplapse. The transvaginal mesh is a medical device which received FDA approval under the 501(k) process. This process is less stringent and cheap. All that the manufacturer has to do to get approval for a medical device using the 501(k) process is show that the device is similar to a device marketed prior to 1976. The manufacturers of the transavaginal mesh have exploited this loophole and have been marketing the device without much research into the complications caused by the device. Sometimes, the prolapse and incontinence can reoccur.

The many lawsuits filed by victims who have suffered the complications caused by transvaginal mesh implants is being seen as the main reason behind a new legislation – the Safety of Untested and New Devices Act. If the legislation becomes law, the FDA can ask for documentation from the manufacturers to show that the new device has addressed and fixed all potential problems if the device is based on a prior device that had safety issues.

The recurrence of urinary incontinence can cause severe hardships. You may have to make changes to your lifestyle and also to your home. Making toilet facilities easily accessible and available is also very important. A situation in which the person must climb stairs to reach an upstairs bathroom invites “accidents” as well as falls. You may have to undergo bladder training/retraining programs. Bladder training/retraining programs combine education, scheduled voiding with delay of voiding, and positive reinforcement in order to have voiding occur more on a set timetable rather than as a result of the urge to void.  Incontinence ushers in dependence, shame, guilt, and fear. The patients who are aware of a problem of continence are mortified by their state.
