Finally, there is a long-term study that captures the true rate of surgical complications from mid-urethral slings. “It has been over 25-years since the first polyproplene mid-urethral sling kit was sold in the United State and finally there is a long-term study that captures the true rate of surgical complications from mid-urethral slings as [...]

Long-term data is very bad for women implanted with polypropylene midurethral slings. Dr. Greg Vigna, practicing physician, national pharmaceutical injury attorney, and certified life care planner states, “These devices continue to be marketed aggressively with Mickey Mouse studies that would not capture these injuries because most of them occur over six years after implantation. [...]

The high rate of dyspareunia (11.7%) with mini-slings deserves further analysis and consideration of whether to implant them in patients who are sexually active. Groin or thigh pain did not differ at 36 months (when mini-slings were compared to full-length mid-urethral slings)," states Cheryl B. Iglesia, MD, Georgetown University School of Medicine.

NEJM published that mini-slings that insert into the obturator internus muscle do not reduce the risk of groin pain and are twice as likely to cause dyspareunia “The New England Journal of Medicine published that mini-slings that insert into the obturator internus muscle do not reduce the risk of groin pain and are twice [...]

NEJM article is just another chapter of the ever-growing history of the failure of heavy-weight polypropylene vaginal mesh devices “The New England Journal of Medicine published that mini-slings that insert into the obturator internus muscle do not reduce the risk of groin pain and are twice as likely to cause dyspareunia when compared to [...]

New England Journal of Medicine published evidence that mini-slings carry at least a 2x risk of dyspareunia when compared with full-length mid-urethral slings “The New England Journal of Medicine published the best evidence to date that the mini-slings that insert into the obturator internus muscle do not reduce the risk of groin pain and [...]

We represent women with injuries from transobturator slings becoming symptomatic over a decade post-implantation as polypropylene foreign body responses occur. “My law firm tries many medical device cases. We have developed a number of trial teams for these cases just as we have in the past in other pharma cases such as in the [...]

A study reveals that 25% of arms of retropubic slings are considered malplaced and considered ‘too far lateral’ which increases neurological risk. “There is nothing reassuring about the reliability of proper placement of a retropubic sling, as a well-cited cadaver study reveals that 25% of arms of retropubic slings are considered malplaced and considered [...]

A recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine shows mini-slings do not reduce the risk of groin pain compared with full-length mid-urethral slings Dr. Greg Vigna, practicing physician, national pharmaceutical injury attorney, and certified life care planner states, “This study was sponsored by England’s National Institute for Health Research and in our [...]
