Have you in the last several years had surgery which involved the implantation of transvaginal
mesh? Hi. I’m Stuart Nachman, an attorney with Kalfus & Nachman, practicing in the state
of Virginia. Today I want to talk to you about transvaginal mesh and how it may impact you.
Within the last several years, surgeons and the scientists that work in this field have
discovered that this polypropylene, or this plastic mesh, is not a good candidate for
implantation in the pelvis. Unfortunately, it tends to produce inflammation and as a
result of that the mesh tightens and causes a variety of problems. Those that I see in
my practice include a stress urinary incontinence, chronic infections, painful intercourse, or
just persistent abdominal pain. In fact, some women have suffered so greatly from this condition
that they have ended up actually having multiple surgeries to rid them of this product, which
is not an easy product for a surgeon to remove without damaging other organs or further complicating
the condition that is suffered by the patient. You’re watching this video because this
is of concern to you or perhaps a family member or even a friend and I can help you or your
friend or family member with any questions you may have about this condition and what
you can do about it – legally – if you so choose. If you have questions, I will be
more than happy to talk with you about them. So what I would like for you to do is pick
up the phone and give me a call at the number that appears on the screen. Thank you for
watching this video.
