# A Quick Explanation of Transvaginal Mesh Cases | Brooks Law Group ## What is it? [Transvaginal Mesh](https://brookslawgroup.com/florida/drug-and-medical-device-lawyer/transvaginal-mesh/) is a surgical mesh that is used by doctors for the repair of pelvic floor disorders. These disorders include pelvic organ prolapse (POP) which is very common in some women due to age, obesity, or childbirth. These types of disorders are known to cause symptoms such as urinary incontinence, discomfort, and/or pain. ### Symptoms Common symptoms for transvaginal mesh complications (also known as bladder sling) are: - Erosion through the vaginal wall - Pain (Chronic Pelvic Pain) - Infection (UTI) - Bleeding - Painful Intercourse - Urinary or Fecal incontinence - Organ Perforation - Leg Pain - Corrective Surgery Many times, women require surgery to have the mesh removed. Unfortunately, there are some cases where multiple procedures are done to attempt remove the mesh and the surgeries are not successful in removing all of it. Victims who have received bladder slings or transvaginal mesh to repair pelvic floor disorders such as POP may be able to hold the manufacturer liable and may be entitled to compensation for damages caused by the device and for their pain and suffering.

Claims brought after the applicable statute of limitations time period will be forever barred. In Florida, Statutes of Limitations claims are set forth in the Florida Statutes. There are many legal issues which make the exact date difficult to determine. You will need the help of an experienced lawyer. Any time limit means you must file your claim by the day BEFORE the time limit expires. If the start date is July 13, 2013, then the two year time limit is not July 13, 2013 – it’s July 12, 2013. ## Transvaginal Mesh Defendants In transvaginal mesh cases there are essentially two types of defendants. Medical care providers. The statute of limitations for these defendants is two years, meaning the claim should be brought no later than Friday, July 12, 2013 – barely more than a month away.
