The Vaginal Mesh Helpline is keeping you up to date on all news related to vaginal mesh lawsuits, Incontinence and vaginal mesh complications and trial updates. This new FDA approval of Botox for urinary incontinence is very interesting. Many mesh victims are seeing incontinence return with the vaginal mesh failing and falling apart.  This news on Botox may be of interest to our vaginal mesh readers.

January 18, 2013 — The U.S. Food and Drug Administration today expanded the approved use of Botox (onabotulinumtoxinA) to treat adults with overactive bladder who cannot use or do not adequately respond to a class of medications known as anticholinergics.

Overactive bladder is a condition in which the bladder squeezes too often or squeezes without warning. Symptoms include leaking urine (urinary incontinence), feeling the sudden and urgent need to urinate, and frequent urination.

When Botox is injected into the bladder muscle, it causes the bladder to relax, increasing the bladder’s storage capacity and reducing episodes of urinary incontinence. Injecting the bladder with Botox is performed using cystoscopy, a procedure that allows a doctor to visualize the interior of the bladder while Botox is being injected.

“Clinical studies have demonstrated Botox’s ability to significantly reduce the frequency of urinary incontinence,” said Hylton V. Joffe, M.D., director of the Division of Reproductive and Urologic Products in FDA’s Center for Drug Evaluation and Research. “Today’s approval provides an important additional treatment option for patients with overactive bladder, a condition that affects an estimated 33 million men and women in the United States.”

Botox’s safety and effectiveness for this new indication were established in two clinical trials of 1,105 patients with symptoms of overactive bladder. Patients were randomly assigned to receive injections of 100 units of Botox (20 injections of 5 units each) or placebo.

Results after 12 weeks showed that patients treated with Botox experienced urinary incontinence an average of 1.6 to 1.9 times less per day than patients treated with placebo. Botox-treated patients also needed to urinate on average 1.0 to 1.7 times less per day and expelled an average of about 30 milliliters more urine than those treated with placebo.

Treatment with Botox can be repeated when the benefits from the previous treatment have decreased, but there should be at least 12 weeks between treatments.

Side Effects.

Keep in mind that this could be beneficial or prove to have complications down the road.

Common side effects reported during clinical trials included urinary tract infections, painful urination, and incomplete emptying of the bladder (urinary retention). Patients who develop urinary retention may need to use a catheter until the urinary retention resolves. Patients being treated for overactive bladder with Botox should not have a urinary tract infection and should take antibiotics before, during, and for a few days after Botox treatment to lower the chance of developing an infection from the procedure.

Botox is manufactured by Allergan Inc. based in Irvine, Calif.

Botox Approved, Again, This Time for Urinary Incontinence
By Meredith Melnick | @meredithcm | August 26, 2011 | 54For those of you who have been keeping track, Botox, the symbol of vanity and Bravo’s Real Housewives, actually has a variety of medical uses: it’s government-approved to treat chronic migraines, muscle problems, underarm sweating and a number of other conditions. Now add to that, urinary incontinence.

On Wednesday, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved Botox, or botulinum toxin, to treat incontinence in patients with neurological conditions like spinal cord injury and multiple sclerosis. It’s the seventh condition that Botox has been approved to treat since the drug first arrived on the market as a wrinkle reducer in 2002.

How does it treat urinary incontinence? In some patients with neurological conditions, overactivity in the bladder leads to an inability to store urine. By injecting Botox directly into the bladder to relax it, patients are offered for more muscle control and less incontinence.

In two clinical trials involving 691 patients with incontinence due to spinal cord injury or multiple sclerosis, those who got Botox had a significant reduction in weekly incontinence episodes, compared to a placebo group, the FDA said. The most common adverse effects were urinary tract infection and urinary retention.

Given that incontinence is so difficult to manage — typically involving drugs to relax the bladder and the use of a catheter to empty it — Botox may give some patients another option. One injection may help control incontinence for up to 10 months, the FDA said.

The approval also opens the door to yet more uses for Botox, made by Allergan, the New York Times reported:

    The drug has been studied for more than 100 medical conditions in all, according to Caroline Van Hove, company spokeswoman. “Anything from writer’s cramp to anal fissure to Parkinson’s disease. That’s why we say it’s a pipeline in a vial,” she said Wednesday.

Botox sales reached about $1.5 billion worldwide in 2010, roughly split between cosmetic and therapeutic purposes.

Perhaps this is something that can help after mesh removal. Our vaginal mesh lawyers are currently filing vaginal mesh lawsuits.

It seems like every lawyer in the United States is after a woman with a mesh. This is the hottest thing since the Slilcone Breast Implants and most likely bigger and more far reaching. Over 300,000 women in the United States have mesh implants. We speak to women of all ages. My oldest mesh caller  was 86 and my youngest was 28. The mesh  is being surgically implanted  for very simple SUI in young women after child birth. Women are ging in for a hysterectmy and coming out with a mesh. Doctors have been putting them in after the 2008 warning and are still using them today. The vaginal mesh comes under many different names and is marketed by about fifteen manufacturers. A bladder sling is a mesh and many rectoceles ad cystoceles are done with a mesh. Many women have more then one mesh. Some women still do not understand they have a mesh. They have complications and their doctors are sending them home telling them nothing is wrong. There is no shortage of vaginal mesh lawyer T.V ads, mesh email blasts, text message blasts and even direct solicitation. You have a $ sign plastered to your forehead and the pain and suffering can only be understood amongst a sisterhood of mesh sufferers. How do you choose a lawyer? They all sound so good. First, you must be sure they are not referring your case to another law firm. Any and all lawyers will take a mesh case. They will very rarely turn you away. Some may refuse your case for reasons you do not understand after they rushed you to send the packet back. You may call trying to find out what is going on and the response is less then comforting. Do not be alarmed if you get a rejection letter. That may be only one law firms opinion. Some lawyers are just accepting the easy cases. These would be  if the mesh has been removed. This is not always a correct decision since you need to find a doctor who is willing to remove it. This is not the easiest task. The doctor who put it in is most likely not going to be very helplful.

Some Basic Facts

There are leads companies out there sending email blasts and trying to get you to sign with them, They are not lawyers and will be selling you to a lawyer as middlemen. You must use caution.

We can help you in:

The mesh lawsuits are not class action litigations. They are what are known as multi-district litigations. You do not need a local lawyer. What you do need is an experienced lawyer with a history of helping women with prior drug or medical device litigations. You need a law firm with  concerned staff who have answers to the questions you ask.  The Vaginal Mesh Helpline only accepts law firms who have a designated female who knows everything there is to know about the mesh. This could be a female attorney or a mature woman who understands.

We only work with law firms who are experienced mass tort litgators. They must have prior experience with a dangerous drug or device that has become an MDL and has harmed women. All law firms go thru a vigorous interview process. We do not accept all of them. The doctors on our list come from our callers who have had a positive experience with them.

We are proud to have amongst our lawyer network two law firms that were involved in helping women with the silicone breast implant litigations. One of those firms is still helping woman in 2012.  The other was a lead counsel. Some women are still waiting for settlements on these disease claims today. This can give you a sense of  how long it takes and how lives can be turned around when a manufacturer puts profits over people.

Competition For Mesh Clients is Out of Control

Lawyers are after the women who have been injured by the mesh. The internet is over run and the T.V screen filled with vaginal mesh lawyer ads. You must take legal action but, you also need medical help and support. Most law firms will not help you get a doctor.

Call the Vaginal Mesh Helpline and speak to a female medical social worker. Get  support, medical help and legal help. You are not alone.  Read the comments from other mesh victims on this site. You must file a vaginal mesh lawsuit and that must be done quickly, The statute of limitations is running out in many states. For more information call our helpline today.

The Vaginal Mesh has been destroying marriages across the country. The pain and agony has made intimacy a distant memory. Many marriages are disolving because of it. However, many husbands are suing along with their wives for lack or loss of consortium.

What is Loss of Consortium?

According to Wikepedia:

Loss of consortium
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia "Loss of consortium is a term used in the law of torts that refers to the deprivation of the benefits of a family relationship due to injuries caused by a tortfeasor. Loss of consortium arising from personal injuries was recognized under the English common law. For example in Baker v Bolton, (1808) 1 Camp 493, a man was permitted to recover for his loss of consortium while his wife languished after a carriage accident. However, once she died from her injuries, his right to recover for lost consortium ended. After the enactment of the Lord Campbell's Act (9 and 10 Vic. c. 93) the English common law continued to prohibit recovery for loss of consortium resulting from the death of a victim. The availability of loss of consortium differs drastically among common law jurisdictions and does not exist at all in several of them. Damages for loss of consortium are considered separately from, and are not to be confused with compensatory damages.

The action was originally paired in a Latin expression: "per quod servitium et consortium amisit," translated as "in consequence of which he lost her society and services." The relationship between husband and wife has, historically, been considered worthy of legal protection. The interest being protected under consortium, is that which the head of the household (father or husband) had in the physical integrity of his wife, children, or servants. The undertone of this action is that the husband had an unreciprocated proprietary interest in his wife. The deprivations identified include the economic contributions of the injured spouse to the household, care and affection, and sex. The action originated in the 18th century and was once available to a father against a man who was courting his daughter outside of marriage, on the grounds that the father had lost the consortium of his daughter's household services because she was spending time with her beau.

Loss of consortium has been brought into the law as a cause of action by civil codes, for example, in Maine[1] or into the common law by action of justices. Other jurisdictions view loss of consortium as an element of damages, not as an independent cause of action; in which case the claim must be brought under another tort. As an example, in suits brought under Washington State’s wrongful death statute, loss of consortium is an element of damages [2]. While some jurisdictions only recognize spousal consortium (usually considered as sex) others recognize parental consortium (love and affection) as well allowing children to recover for the death or disability of a parent and vice versa."

Below are a number of news bulletins where husbands have sued the manufacturers of the vaginal mesh products.

 A Woman and Her Husband Sue Multiple Manufacturers For Her Vaginal Mesh Problems
Perry Larkin | July 25th, 2012 | Posted in Vaginal Mesh Lawsuits

According to the complaint drawn up by an Alabama woman and her husband’s vaginal mesh lawyer, she was implanted with products manufactured by Johnson & Johnson (J&J) and Ethicon, Inc. on February 6, 2008. She was later implanted with a product manufactured by Boston Scientific Corporation on November 8, 2010.

In the recent landmark case A jury awarded Scott $5 million and her husband $500,000, claiming the mesh has ruined their love life. It's a landmark victory, the first of its kind in the country.

If you are experiencing severe complications from a vaginal mesh and you and your husband are both suffering as a result of this, You both may be able to sue for damages. Husbands can sue for loss of consortium.

The Vaginal Mesh Helpline continues to report on the news that effects women with vaginal mesh complications. The new FDA tracking system comes a little late for the over 300,000 women implanted with vaginal mesh devices and suffering. However, there is hope. This sends a message that our voices have been heard. By filing vaginal mesh lawsuits and standing up for justice you protect yourself and all women from becoming targets of manufacturers who put profits over people.

FDA’s Propose Tracking System Could Reduce Vaginal Mesh Complications
Tracy Ray

The FDA has proposed a new regulation that would require all new medical devices to carry a unique device identifier (UDI). The UDI would be a code of letters and numbers. Such a code would make it much easier to track devices, which in turn would make it much easier to report complications with a particular model or to find out about such problems.

According to the FDA, “A UDI system has the potential to improve the quality of information in medical device adverse event reports, which will help the FDA identify product problems more quickly, better target recalls and improve patient safety.”

For example, if such a tracking system were in place, a doctor who had a patient with stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and wanted to implant a vaginal mesh device could look up the different models by the UDI and immediately see what transvaginal mesh complications, if any, had been reported with each specific model. Likewise, in the event of a recall, a UDI would make the process much more efficient: the company or the FDA would simply announce that the model carrying a particular UDI number was being recalled.

The FDA’s proposal was a response to legislation passed by Congress in 2007 that directed the FDA to develop regulations establishing a unique device identification system for medical devices.
Many women have suffered transvaginal mesh complications

Such a system might enable future patients to avoid problems resulting from transvaginal mesh. Many women have suffered such complications, including pain, infections, mesh erosion, protrusion, vaginal scarring, dyspareunia, and perforation of the bowels, bladder, or blood vessels. Many of these devices were approved under the FDA’s controversial 510(k) approval process, which allows products to be approved without first undergoing clinical trials to prove they are safe.

If the physicians treating these women had been able to easily look up the type of vaginal mesh device they were considering implanting, and immediately see reports of problems associated with the device, they would have been able to weight the risks and make an informed decision about whether to implant that particular device.
Vaginal mesh MDL consolidated lawsuits

Many women who have suffered complications have filed vaginal mesh lawsuits in order to get compensation for their pain, suffering, and reduced quality of life. Most of these lawsuits charge that the manufacturers of these devices did not test them for safety before putting the on the market and failed to warn the public of the devices’ risks. A number of federal lawsuits have been consolidated in a vaginal mesh MDL in West Virginia.

The trial is now set to begin on February 5, 2013 in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia.

The purpose of bellwether trials is for both parties to get an idea of how juries will respond to common evidence in representative trials. They can then use this information to negotiate settlements, to plan their strategy for future trials, or to serve as precedents. In January, Judge Goodwin told the attorneys in the Bard MDL to compile a list of possible bellwether cases. Now that a date has been set for the first bellwether trial, a schedule will be established for the discovery process so that the pre-trial proceedings can begin.

Use of Vaginal Sling During Surgery Linked to Increased Urethral Sling Complications 1 877 522-2123

Vaginal Mesh Helpline Medical  Update reports on a June 21, 2012 study published in The New England Journal of Medicine, which found that though the insertion of a vaginal sling during surgery decreases the chances of postoperative urinary incontinence, it carries higher risks of urethral sling complications.*

The study analyzed data from 337 participants who underwent surgery to treat pelvic organ prolapse (“POP”) between May 2007 and October 2009. The women were randomly assigned either a vaginal sling or sham incisions. The study found:

        After three months, 23.6 percent of women with the sling had urinary incontinence, compared to 49.4 percent without a vaginal sling.

        After 12 months, 27.3 percent of patients with the sling suffered from urinary incontinence, compared to 43 percent of those without.

        Those implanted with the sling suffered complications. Nearly seven percent of the sling group suffered bladder perforation, versus none in the control group.

        31 percent of women experienced urinary tract infections as a urethral sling complication, versus 18.3 percent in the non-sling group.

        Bleeding complications occurred in 3.1 percent of the sling group; incomplete bladder emptying occurred in 3.7 percent of the sling group. Neither occurred at all in the non-sling group.

Urethral Sling Complications Adds To Concerns About Vaginal Mesh Side Effects

According to an accompany commentary to the study, vaginal mesh slings are different from other types of transvaginal mesh used for POP repair. The slings are small and shaped like straps, approximately 1 cm wide and 10 cm long, while vaginal mesh sheets can span up to 10 cm wide and 20 cm long. In September 2011, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) convened a panel to evaluate the safety of vaginal mesh implants. Although the agency recommended post market studies for transvaginal mesh, they did not require such studies for midurethral slings. The latest study raises questions about the risks and benefits of vaginal mesh slings. The FDA noted that the vaginal sling provides an “anatomic” benefit, but may not result in better symptomatic results. Since the study was limited to a one year follow up, the long-term consequences of urethral sling complications are still unknown.

Current vaginal mesh lawsuits are increasing. There are numerous vaginal mesh related implants creating severe complications. Many women do not realize that all of these are mesh devices and are part of the huge vaginal mesh lawsuits. The Vaginal mesh helpline currently has a number of pre screened experienced Tort lawyers  for women seeking to file vaginal mesh lawsuits. We cxan also help with doctors in some states.

You have been probably reading alot lately about the mesh and the fact that it is a Multi District litigation. In fact that is what this lawsuit is. The vaginal mesh is not a class action lawsuit. Your case is filed locally and then moved to the appropriate MDl  that the manufacturer of your vaginal mesh has been assigned to.

What is a MUlti District litigation ?

Multidistrict litigation is a procedure utilized in the federal court system to transfer to one federal judge all pending civil cases of a similar type filed throughout the United States. The decision whether cases should be transferred is made by a panel of seven federal judges appointed by the Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court. The Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation meets periodically to review requests that cases be consolidated for pretrial matters pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1407

Vaginal mesh MDL'S

In December 2008, all Mentor ObTape lawsuits pending in federal courts were consolidated for MDL in the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia, before the Honorable Judge Clay D. Land. In October 2010, 36 lawsuits against Bard (manufacturer of one brand of vaginal mesh) were consolidated for MDL in the Southern District of West Virginia; the number of included cases has since grown to nearly 300. The first vaginal mesh bellwether trial against Bard is scheduled to begin on February 15, 2013. Later, in February 2012, the Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation created three additional MDLs in the Southern District of West Virginia; the defendants are: American Medical Systems; Boston Scientific; and Ethicon. Also in October 2010, Judge Carol E. Higbee of the Superior Court of New Jersey ruled in favor of centralized management for all current and future complaints against manufacturers Johnson &Johnson and Bard (more than 400 such cases have currently been filed). The New Jersey cases are not part of a federal MDL, but are being managed on a state level.

A motion has been filed to create a sixth transvaginal mesh MDL, involving lawsuits over Coloplast pelvic mesh, and a panel of federal judges will meet later this month to consider whether the cases should be consolidated for pretrial proceedings and centralized before the same judge in West Virginia who is presiding over cases involving similar products sold by other manufacturers.

To Summarize the vaginal mesh MDL

There are currently four different MDLs (multidistrict litigations) centralized before Chief District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of West Virginia, involving lawsuits over transvaginal mesh products sold by C.R. Bard, American Medical Systems (AMS), Boston Scientific and Ethicon.

A fifth MDL, which was established in 2004 for lawsuits involving Mentor ObTape, is centralized in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Georgia. However, many of the Mentor ObTape lawsuits have already settled and the litigation is at a very advanced stage.

Update on Vaginal Mesh Proceedings

Judge Issues Order to Proceed with Discovery in Vaginal Mesh MDL
Emma Gonzalez | July 6th, 2012 |

On June 14, 2012, Chief District Judge Joseph R. Goodwin, who presides over the U.S. District Court for the Western District of West Virginia, issued a pretrial order to proceed with discovery processes in the transvaginal mesh lawsuit MDL. In laymen’s terms, this means that lawyers for the plaintiffs, who allege a variety of vaginal mesh problems, are now able to request evidence, documentation and other paperwork from product manufactures and defendant companies.
Discovery to seek evidence of vaginal mesh problems

True to name, discovery is a legal term for the pretrial process of “discovering” evidence from the opposing party. In this case, Judge Goodwin has authorized vaginal mesh attorneys to seek depositions, interrogatories (fact-gathering questionnaires), and other supporting documentation from vaginal mesh manufacturers and other named defendants. Judge Goodwin’s order is a very important step for the MDL, as it allows counsel to prepare for the first trials.
Judge presides over four transvaginal mesh lawsuit MDL’s

Judge Goodwin will preside over several transvaginal mesh lawsuit MDL’s – those against American Medical Systems, Boston Scientific, C.R. Bard, and Ethicon. While Judge Goodwin has been assigned to the C.R. Bard MDL since 2010, it was not until 2012 that the other three were consolidated and appended to his court docket. The four MDL’s consolidate cases from thousands of women, and currently number 333 against AMS, 182 against Boston Scientific, 411 against C.R. Bard, and 253 against Ethicon. MDL numbers are growing fast, and this rapid rate is not expected to decrease in the near future.
Vaginal mesh attorneys cite range of complications

MDL plaintiffs allege several vaginal mesh problems, among them pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence aggravated by vaginal mesh. Additionally, women report chronic infection, bleeding, vaginal scarring, severe discomfort, and pain during intercourse. For some, what was meant to be a solution to their problems results in device erosion – deterioration of the implant – or extrusion, in other words, dislocation of the implant to such a point that it protrudes into the vaginal canal. In the worst of cases, women allege that their defective implants cannot be completely removed, even after multiple surgeries.

It is important to understand that a local lawyer is not necessary for the Vaginal mesh lawsuits. That lawyer will not necessarily be a part of the proceedings but, will most likely be seniding your case to another law firm that is equipped to handle mass torts.

Lead Counsels and the vaginal mesh MDL

On April 13th, Chief Judge Joseph R. Goodwin held a hearing to consider what MDL attorneys will be appointed to serve as lead counsel for the plaintiffs in the consolidated transvaginal mesh litigation.  Attiorneys from around the country comprise the Executive Committee and fifty firms comprise the PSC.

That is why it is extremely important for you to hire an end of the line lawyer so that your casr is not moved from a local law firm to a larger law firm to the MDL lead counsel. Many lead counsels are just end of the libne lawyers and are not taking cases, others are. Your attorney must be familiar with the MDL process. for the Vaginal mesh Helpline dial 1 877 522-2123
