"60 Minutes" did a story in 2018 on pharmaceutical manufacturer "Boston Scientific" surgical mesh used in gynecological surgeries and other organs that shift.
Recently a family member just under went a 10 hour surgery to repair a huge hernia in a male patient suffering with colon cancer, removal of a portion of his colon, perforation occurred, colostomy bag put in, developed huge stoma, wound care pump surgery, just had the hernia repair surgery, after returning home a week later, developed hematoma under stapled incision. To make a long story short, patient requested surgeon to not use a mesh that would have adhered to the organs, assured the patient a different kind of mesh would be used. Please ask alot of questions about what surgical products will be used and the risks causing more pain, suffering and injury.
I will never have bladder repair surgery after hearing over 100,000 women suffered physical damage from using this mesh.
I get so upset speaking about this. I guess suffering with a prolapsed bladder and a bad kidney infection, sphincter of oddi disfunction, pancreatitis and horrible abdominal cramping, taking a break from physicians right now.
Good luck to.
Take care
