(EMAILWIRE.COM, September 23, 2011 ) Sandy, Utah -- Personal Injury Attorney Craig Swapp announces that Craig Swapp & Associates is now representing clients who have suffered chronic pain, infections, mesh erosion, or subsequent surgeries after being implanted with a transvaginal mesh support system to prevent pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
On October 20, 2008, The United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued a public health notification warning about the serious consequences associated with the implantation of a transvaginal mesh support system including mesh erosion and vaginal scarring that can lead to pain and discomfort. The FDA also cited reports of urinary problems and infection, as well as perforation of the bowel, bladder and blood vessels during implantation surgery. According to the FDA notification, up through 2008, the FDA had received over 1,000 reports of complications with women receiving the mesh implant.
Attorney Craig Swapp says, “We are finding that patients with adverse reactions from the transvaginal mesh implant can be affected by the overall health of our client, the mesh material, how it was implanted, and the size and shape of the mesh. We’re examining each case carefully to help determine the liability of the transvaginal mesh manufacturer.”
Swapp adds, “In many cases where the transvaginal mesh implant has failed, the patient may require one or more follow-up surgeries to remove the mesh implant and repair the damage to the vaginal area or nearby organs.” For more information about injuries caused by transvaginal mesh implants, clients and patients should refer to the law firm’s transvaginal mesh side effects website.
The Law Firm of Craig Swapp & Associates handles serious personal injury cases, including dangerous prescription drugs, wrongful death, vehicle accidents, etc. For more information please visit Craig Swapp & Associates personal injury lawyer website or call 1-800-404-9000.
