PE1865/RRR: Suspend all surgical mesh and fixation devices
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has been conducting post-market surveillance of transvaginal mesh devices intended to treat pelvic organ prolapse (POP).
It recently it announced that the results of this surveillance show that patients who received mesh repair had increased risk of mesh exposure and tissue erosion compared to patients whose prolapse was repaired with native tissue.
As a result, the FDA updated its webpage which details its regulatory oversight of urogynecologic surgical mesh products to state that “the FDA continues to believe that these devices do not have a favorable [sic] benefit-risk profile”.
It has taken the FDA a long time to admit this. Something we have all fought long and hard for.
I believe that it's now time for the Scottish government listen and change things for the better for all affected. These devices are still being offered now on the NHS, even though there is a ban. This also provides us with a pathway to prove that hernia mesh and other mesh devices are causing the same issues.
Therefore, a suspension until more guidelines and testing is done would be the best option save more people being damaged.
