From the Desk of the Editor - “Women Beware: Not all Mesh-Implants Need to be Removed"
After reading a front-page article, How Profiteers Coax Women Into Surgery, in the New York Times, I knew I had to write this blog. The article describes the business case for exploiting women who have had a mesh implant for surgical treatment of pelvic floor disorders, e.g. pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence. The author notes “Litigation against implants’ manufacturers has involved more than 100,000 plaintiffs in federal court alone.” But we know that not all women who undergo mesh-implant surgery have mesh-related post-operative complications.
