Washington Post Tackles Vaginal Mesh

Mesh Medical Device News Desk, January 21, 2019~ In a more than 2,000 word story on the mesh mesh, the Washington Post does an exhaustive story on everything from patient profiles, to the doctors who love mesh.

Susan G Berger is the freelance journalist, giving her the freedom to report on what she finds interesting. Good to see that the Post found it interesting too. Thestory mentions Katrina Spradley (Mesh Awareness Movement) and her journey as well as a talk with Dr. Shlomo Raz. He says about 3 to four million women worldwide have had mesh implanted to treat incontinence and prolapse, which are numbers I’ve not see yet. Dr. Margolis isquoted as ssying he has never implanted mesh through a vagina because of the complications while AUGS insists polypropyleme material is safe and effective. It is definitely worth a resad and please comment below because that is how The post understands you are interested in reading about this topic.
