Mesh Erosion Caused by Vaginal Mesh and Bladder Sling Implants
Mesh erosion is one of the common complications associated with the Gynecare Prolift, Bard Avaulta, Boston Scientific Pinnacle and Uphold, AMS Apogee, Perigee, and Elevate, and other pelvic mesh products. The pelvic mesh bladder sling can erode into the vagina, bladder, intestines, rectum, uterus and other vital organs. Mesh erosion can cause significant pain, discomfort, bleeding, infection, vaginal odor, and discharge. Mesh erosion can also result in uncomfortable and painful sexual intercourse for both you and your partner and in some cases, sexual intercourse may be impossible. When mesh erosion occurs, physicians may recommend the application of a steroid cream to the affected area or attempt to trim the eroded or exposed mesh. When such conservative treatments are unsuccessful in treating the mesh erosion, additional surgery may be necessary.
