“Our study demonstrates that the use of P4HB mesh is both safe and effective in ventral hernia repairs," states Steven G. Leeds, Baylor University Medical Center. What else did Dr. Leeds report in “The use of poly-4-hydroxybutyrate (P4HB, Phasix) mesh in ventral hernia repair: a systematic review and meta-analysis” published in Hernia, Vol. 28, pages [...]
“The roll out of P4HB has been too slow for hernia repair. It is hard to justify using synthetic mesh in a contaminated surgical field which has a 3x greater risk of surgical site infections when compared with P4HB,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD. Dr. Greg Vigna, national mid-urethral sling attorney and hernia mesh attorney, [...]
“Our study demonstrates that the use of P4HB mesh is both safe and effective in ventral hernia repairs,” states Dr. Daniel H. Tran, General Surgery, Texas A&M College of Medicine. Dr. Greg Vigna, national mid-urethral sling attorney and hernia mesh attorney, says, “The Phasix mesh is P4HB and is a natural polymer derived from E [...]
“A recent study found that 8.7% of patients with cerebral palsy were diagnosed with autism spectrum disorders (ASDs) and some in the medical community suggest that cerebral palsy, autism spectrum disorders, and attention-deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) may have similar risk factors," states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national neurological injury attorney. Read “Prevalence and characteristics of autism [...]
“The Celect IVC filter case demonstrates the need for regulatory reforms to ensure that critical safety data is accessible to the FDA, clinicians, and patients to inform decision making," states Harlan M. Krumholz, MD, Yale. Dr. Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national pharmaceutical injury attorney, states, “Physicians make important decisions for their patients that, unfortunately, are [...]
“There is now clear evidence that the consequences of persistent increased muscle tone can be limited by applying an integrated multi-level BTX-A treatment approach,” states Guy Molenaers, MD, Ph.D., Orthopedic Surgeon. What does Dr. Molenaers report in his article “The use of botulinum toxin A in children with cerebral palsy, with a focus on the [...]
“TephaFex sling is completely removed by the body over two years. This would eliminate more than half of all mesh revision surgeries at 15-years,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national mid-urethral sling attorney. What is the long-term risk of surgery for polypropylene mesh related complications? “In our study population, the 15-year risk of sling revision [...]
“The probability of antimicrobial initiation among patients with new hospital-onset sepsis declined at shift changes and overnight. Time to antimicrobial initiation for patients with sepsis onset overnight was four times longer than for patients with onset during the day," states Dr. Jennifer C. Ginestra, MD, Critical Care. Dr. Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national PICC line [...]
“When patients report lower limb or groin pain immediately after surgery, injury to the obturator or pudendal nerve is often suspected, and mesh removal most often cures the pain. When isolated pain occurs later on after mid-urethral sling insertion, the first-line treatment is often medical," states Camille Armengaud, MD. Read Dr. Armengaud’s article “Serious complications [...]
“I doubt a study comparing the Altis to the TephaFex mid-urethral sling will ever happen. I anticipate the P4HB technology will finally end the polypropylene vaginal mesh debacle,” states Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national mid-urethral sling attorney. What was reported about P4HB slings in the 2024 article, “Safety and Efficacy Report for the Poly-4-Hydroxybutyrate as [...]
