What will be the problems in hysterectomy after hernia repair surgery?
I had an umbilical hernia repair in 1989. I am scheduled to have a hysterectomy on April 15, 2013. My Dr. asked me if there was a mesh used, but I don't know. Why did she ask me that and how will that affect the hysterectomy? Rolanda Goldsborough
How long does it take to settle a vaginal mesh lawsuit?
The first bellweather trials for transvaginal mesh injury lawsuits are not expected to begin until November 2012. It is likely that the litigation may last several years. If you or someone you love has been injured after receiving a transvaginal mesh implant, you need to discuss your case with an experienced personal injury attorney immediately.
What is vaginal mesh?
Surgeons first used surgical mesh in the 1950s, to treat abdominal hernias. In the 1970s, by cutting that same type of surgical mesh into a different shape, doctors began using it to treat female Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI) and Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP)-a condition in which a woman's bladder, rectum, bowels and/or reproductive organs slip down into her vaginal opening. In 2001, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) reviewed the first surgical mesh specifically indicated for the treatment of POP and found it substantially equivalent to surgical mesh indicated for hernia repair. The FDA issued this finding without clinical data. Since then, the agency has cleared without clinical data many other mesh products indicated for the treatment of POP. Mesh Products Are Available In Both Biologic And Synthetic Form The vaginal mesh products on the market fall into the following four categories: • non-absorbable synthetic (e.g., polypropylene or polyester), • absorbable synthetic (e.g., poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) or poly(caprolactone)), • biologic (e.g., acellular collagen derived from bovine or porcine sources), and • composite (i.e., a combination of any of the previous three categories). Using Vaginal Mesh To Treat POP and SUI "In general, mesh products for vaginal POP repair are configured to match the anatomical defect they are designed to correct," according to the FDA executive summary titled "Surgical Mesh for Treatment of Women With Pelvic Organ Prolapse and Stress Urinary Incontinence." When doctors use mesh to treat SUI, they create a hammock of support under the urethra. When doctors first started using mesh to treat POP and SUI, they were doing so via incisions in the patient's abdomen. By the 1990s, doctors began treating SUI and POP by inserting mesh transvaginally (i.e., through the vagina). Many of the problems vaginal mesh recipients are currently suffering are due to the transvaginal placement of the mesh products.
Is a mesh used in a abdomial hysterectomy bilaterd salphingo Oophorectomy?
A mesh is not typically used in an abdominal hysterectomy with bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy (BSO). This procedure primarily involves the removal of the uterus, cervix, and both ovaries and fallopian tubes, often performed for reasons such as fibroids, endometriosis, or cancer. While mesh may be used in pelvic organ prolapse surgeries, its use in hysterectomies is generally not standard practice. Always consult with a healthcare provider for specific surgical details and options.
Can you dye a mesh but not the actual head?
Yes you can dye the mesh but not the head. i wouldn't suggest dying mesh because it makes it hard. I would advise taking the mesh off before doing so, or doing it before you string the head. Also, you can buy almost any color mesh before stringing your head, which would probably be the easiest way to get the color you want.
Transvaginal Mesh: What is it?
A surgical mesh is a specially woven fabric typically designed to reconstruct a missing wall and strengthening the tissue inside in order to offer support for internal organs as well as treating traumatic or surgical wounds. Normally, the fabric is made up of some kind of polymer, such as polypropylene, Teflon or Gore-Tex. However, it is sometimes possible to see a titanium mesh in some rare back surgeries. The most common kinds of surgical mesh include stress urinary incontinence slings, a hernia mesh and a transvaginal mesh in order to treat prolapse. Hernias occur when an internal organ starts to push through the abdominal wall lining where it is weak. It is not possible to repair this disorder on its own, and it will start to get worse over time. It is usually advised to undergo surgery to stop the intestine from becoming constricted and causing new problems. Here, surgical mesh would be used to put it on or beneath the area in the abdomen that is damaged. It is also common to use a transvaginal mesh in the event of pelvic organ prolapse, which is a condition in which one organ in the pelvis, such as the bowel, uterus, bladder or rectum, drops below its usual position and pushes the wall of the vagina. In the event surgery is required, the mesh will then be put into the area by making an incision in the vaginal wall so that there is enough support for the organ that is falling. When the uterus starts to enter the vagina through the pelvic cavity, this is known as uterine prolapse, which starts often with women who have had a vaginal delivery. Aging can also cause this along with obesity and the lack of estrogen after menopause. If it is necessary to get surgery, then sometimes it is necessary to get a vaginal hysterectomy in order to further treat the condition and prevent any further problems with the condition later down the road. Another condition that a transvaginal mesh can help with includes female stress urinary incontinence. This occurs commonly, a major symptom being the involuntary leak of urine as a result of the muscles being weakened upon giving birth or lifting heavily. Some treatments may include custom fitted device in an effort to support the vagina, but surgery may also be required to install a transvaginal mesh.
