thanks to Mesh Down Under for sharing this poster that depicts a truth for mesh complication patients ....
Silent no more: Mesh hurts
Welcome to Links to Medical Mesh Research.
You will find peer reviewed research and scientific articles to validate the concerns of thousands of patients that the search for a more biocompatible tissue scaffolding material must continue.
Synthetic medical/surgical mesh is not inert.
It can for a significant number of people hurt more than the problem it was used to cure. The information compiled here is for the benefit of patients, their families, their doctors, the medical community, the governing bodies of health systems, and the legal community.
Advocacy for skilled medical help for mesh injured patients will be advanced and strengthened through education. Advocacy for accountability to patients for the less than ethical usage of medical products before long term studies prove safety benefit over risk must be of the highest priority. The links below will provide additional research, emotional support, links to patient endorsed surgeons, and most of all validation that change is needed in the perception of mesh safety as it stands today. Research on the research page is listed in alphabetical order by key words or key points with excerpts.
Thanks to those contributing research, and photos to make this website.
Education regarding mesh injury, and the under reporting of the problem and the under recognition that mesh can and does cause not only specific recognized wounds but also triggers systemic and often irreversible autoimmune diseases must be ongoing. We have a long way to go to getting up to speed in order to get to a higher standard of care.
