FDA Issues Order to the Makers of Transvaginal Mesh to Study Its Risk
On January 5, 2012, the Food and Drug Administration issued an order requiring the makers of transvaginal mesh to study the risks associated with the implantable surgical mesh. In 2008, the FDA issued a warning on the product, noting complications were rare. However, in the following three years, the problems associated with transvaginal mesh have increased fivefold, causing the FDA to update its outlook of the product's side effects from rare to more common.
Commentary This order follows a September of last year shift in policy at the FDA where once a problem is discovered, the administration requires manufacturers to individually study the product's problems. The article notes that in 2010, roughly 185,000 women have undergone surgery where surgical mesh was implanted, and researchers suggested about 15 percent experienced complications. It further notes that the benefits of the mesh device do not outweigh the risks involved. Typically when these studies are ordered, researchers from each manufacturer will follow the progress of several women for a period of a few years until they feel conclusive evidence has been established.
