08/11/2011 - Last month the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) updated a Safety Communication, warning of the dangers associated with the surgical placement of mesh through the vagina to repair pelvic organ prolapse (POP). According to Ennis & Ennis, P.A., this update follows a recent significant increase in the number of adverse events reported to the FDA.

For women who are considering surgery for pelvic organ prolapse, it is important to know that within this updated Safety Communication, the FDA makes the following recommendations:

- Be aware of the risks associated with transvaginal POP repair.
- Know that having a mesh surgery may increase the risk for needing additional surgery due to mesh-related complications. In a small number of patients, repeat surgery may not resolve complications.
- Ask surgeon about all POP treatment options, including surgical repair with or without mesh and non-surgical options, and understand why surgeon may be recommending treatment of POP with mesh.

On September 8-9, 2001, the Obstetrics and Gynecology Devices Panel of the Medical Devices Advisory Committee will meet to make recommendations regarding how to proceed. In the meantime, Attorney Holly Ennis recommends that all patients with symptoms first seek medical attention. Then they should report the incident to the FDA by filing a voluntary report at http://www.fda.gov/Safety/MedWatch/HowToReport/default.htm prior to the Committee Meeting. Lastly, patients should seek the opinion of an experienced lawyer to explore their legal rights.
