Transvaginal Surgical Mesh Recall Possible
A new U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) report concluded that implanted transvaginal mesh failed to result in better outcomes than non-mesh surgeries. Therefore, the transvaginal mesh devices should be reclassified as posing a high risk.
Public Citizen, a consumer advocacy group, has called for a recall of transvaginal mesh devices and the FDA will consider it. For more information on this subject from previous posts, click here and here.
