On this page, we’ll discuss lawsuits for Transvaginal Mesh Injuries, common mesh injuries and complications, hiring experienced Transvaginal Mesh Lawyers, and much more.
Injuries and Complications From Transvaginal Mesh Implants
Transvaginal mesh implants were designed to provide relief to women struggling with pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and urinary incontinence.
While these vaginal wall implants have benefited some women, others have fallen victim to the negative health effects associated with the use of transvaginal mesh.
For more than a decade, many women have been filing lawsuits against manufacturers for defective transvaginal and pelvic mesh implants.
These defective implants have led to serious complications, including pain, infection, mesh erosion, and the perforation of pelvic organs.
Other women suing manufacturers have even suffered from the recurrence of pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence.
With hundreds upon thousands of lawsuits filed against manufacturers, many transvaginal mesh lawsuits were consolidated into multidistrict litigations, which have been settled in the past.
Current transvaginal mesh lawsuits are typically filed in state courts and in other jurisdictions.
If you or a loved one have suffered serious complications or injuries from vaginal mesh, you may be eligible to file a Vaginal Mesh Lawsuit.

Transvaginal mesh implants are medical devices designed to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
Transvaginal mesh implants are intricately woven from synthetic materials and are surgically implanted to reinforce weakened pelvic tissues to hold organs in place.
Transvaginal mesh is implanted on the vaginal wall and adds more tone to the pelvic floor and treat pelvic organ prolapse and
Vaginal mesh is also used to treat stress incontinence.
While these products were widely used, transvaginal mesh implants can lead to several serious complications, such as mesh erosion, where the mesh wears through the vaginal wall or surrounding tissues.
Patients may also experience chronic pain, infections, bleeding, and organ perforation, particularly in nearby organs like the bladder or bowel.
Additionally, these complications can result in urinary problems, painful intercourse, and a need for corrective surgeries.
The reports revealed the following injuries and complications associated with the use of these surgical mesh devices:
Chronic pelvic pain
Vaginal bleeding
Organ perforation
Painful sexual intercourse
Recurrent urinary problems
Mesh erosion
Chronic Pelvic Pain
Chronic pelvic pain is a prevalent consequence of transvaginal mesh complications.
The persistent discomfort can be debilitating, affecting daily activities, work, and personal relationships.
Women often experience sharp, shooting pains, making even the simplest tasks challenging.
Vaginal Bleeding Due to Mesh Exposure
Vaginal bleeding is another distressing complication linked to these implants.
Abrasions and wounds can form when the mesh erodes into surrounding tissues or organs.
As a result, affected women may experience irregular or persistent vaginal bleeding, often accompanied by discomfort and pain.
Perforation of Organs
Sharp edges of the mesh can puncture organs like the bladder or bowel.
Organ perforation leads to serious health issues, including infections and internal bleeding.
Surgical intervention is imperative to repair the damage, but the recovery process is lengthy and challenging.
Painful Sexual Intercourse
Surgical mesh complications frequently result in painful sexual experiences.
Incomplete mesh surgery can leave parts of the transvaginal mesh protruding, resulting in painful intercourse and diminished intimacy between partners.
Recurrent Urinary Problems
Transvaginal mesh is often used to treat stress urinary incontinence.
However, mesh can erode and become dislodged, leading to complications that cause urinary incontinence and other related problems to recur.
Mesh-related complications interfere with normal urinary functions, causing frequent and painful urination.
Women may also experience difficulty emptying their bladder.
These issues disrupt daily routines, leading to discomfort, embarrassment, and a constant reminder of the mesh’s presence.
Infection
Infections at the implant site are common complications of transvaginal mesh surgery.
The signs and symptoms of postoperative infection include redness, swelling, and fever.
In severe cases, infections can spread and require aggressive medical intervention.
Infected mesh may need to be removed, leading to additional surgeries and prolonged recovery periods.
Mesh Erosion
Mesh erosion occurs when the implant erodes through the vaginal walls, causing abrasive pain, bleeding, and discomfort, especially during sexual intercourse.
Erosion can also damage nearby tissues and organs, exacerbating the complications.
Many women end up going through revision surgeries to address this issue, adding to the physical and emotional strain.
Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits are filed by women who have experienced complications due to transvaginal mesh implants.
These lawsuits focus on holding manufacturers accountable for the injuries caused by their defective products.
In these proceedings, affected individuals seek compensation for various damages, including medical expenses, emotional distress, pain and suffering, and lost wages.
The lawsuits allege that manufacturers failed to adequately warn patients and healthcare providers about the potential risks associated with transvaginal mesh implants.
Individuals filing these lawsuits typically claim that the mesh devices were not properly tested and that the manufacturers did not provide sufficient information about the risks involved.
Women have suffered from complications such as chronic pain, infections, mesh erosion, organ perforation, painful intercourse, and recurrent urinary issues.
Most surgical mesh or transvaginal mesh implant lawsuits have been resolved, and were consolidated into separate multidistrict litigations according to the specific brand of vaginal mesh used.
Despite these lawsuits being largely resolved, new transvaginal mesh lawsuits can be filed.
Defendants: Transvaginal Mesh Manufacturers
Several vaginal mesh manufacturers have been named in the lawsuits.
Companies named in Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits include:
C.R. Bard
American Medical Systems
Boston Scientific

Past Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuits
The surge in transvaginal mesh cases led to the establishment of separate multidistrict litigations (MDLs).
MDLs consolidate similar cases from different locations and streamline legal proceedings.
This legal approach was chosen due to the complexity of cases involving dangerous medical devices.
Unlike class actions which distribute one collective settlement among its members, MDL settlements are tailored to each plaintiff’s damages, ensuring fair compensation based on individual circumstances.
Potential Transvaginal Mesh Lawsuit Settlements and Verdicts
Over the past decade, women affected by defective vaginal mesh implant devices have received substantial compensation.
Manufacturers who have been held accountable for the harm caused have paid out billions of dollars in settlements and verdicts.
These settlements aim to address various damages, including medical bills, costs of future treatments, emotional distress, and pain and suffering.
The projected settlement value for these lawsuits varies and typically ranges between $150,000 and upwards of $400,000 per person.
These figures are merely estimates.
We have made these projections based on past similar product liability lawsuits and recent settlements paid in past lawsuits.
Notable Settlements and Verdicts in the Transvaginal Mesh Implant Lawsuits
Significant settlements and verdicts highlight the impact of transvaginal mesh injuries.
In 2014, American Medical Systems (Endo International) paid an $830 million settlement to plaintiffs affected by their surgical mesh implants.
To accommodate additional settlements and lawsuits, the company also set aside an additional $775 million in 2017.
Johnson & Johnson was also one of the surgical mesh manufacturers named in the lawsuits.
The multi-billion-dollar giant resolved over 2,000 cases with a $120 million settlement in 2016.
The company also settled pelvic mesh lawsuits for over $300 million in 2022.
Boston Scientific, C.R. Bard, and Coloplast have also settled lawsuits for significant amounts of money.
Common injuries from vaginal mesh include chronic pain, mesh erosion into the vaginal wall or surrounding organs, infections, bleeding, urinary problems, and organ perforation.
Complications can also lead to painful intercourse and the need for additional surgeries.
Compensation in vaginal mesh lawsuits typically covers medical expenses, pain and suffering, lost wages, emotional distress, and punitive damages in some cases.
The amount varies depending on the individual circumstances of each case.
