What is a pelvic mesh product?
Pelvic mesh products are also called vaginal mesh, transvaginal mesh, surgical mesh, hammock or sling.
These surgical devices are used to treat patients suffering from pelvic organ prolapse (POP) or stress urinary incontinence (SUI).
In February of 2010, Health Canada published a notice addressed to hospitals regarding complications related to pelvic mesh implants.

Amongst some serious complications related to these pelvic mesh products are: vaginal or urethral erosion, pain including dyspareunia, infection as well as organ perforation.
