Since 2008, the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) has been reviewing the safety of transvaginal mesh products used in the surgical repair of pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). On October 20, 2008, the agency issued a Public Heath Notification advising it had received more than 1,000 complaints over a three year period relating to transvaginal mesh products. In a second Public Health Notification issued on July 13, 2011, the FDA noted that it had received a total of 2,864 reports of complications between 2008 and 2010. The agency concluded that serious injuries associated with surgical mesh for transvaginal repair of POP, were “not rare,” and further advised that transvaginal POP repair with mesh “does not improve symptomatic results or quality of life over traditional non mesh repair.”
