## Overview

Transvaginal mesh litigation involves pelvic mesh kits used for pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence. Plaintiffs allege chronic pain, erosion, infection, dyspareunia, and multiple surgeries. Many manufacturer MDLs were active for years; some inventories are closed or limited while other claims proceed in state courts.

### Procedural landscape

Federal MDLs consolidated many manufacturers, but maturation and settlements shifted remaining cases. Some states still hear individual trials or administrative inventories.

### Records that help establish timelines

Index surgery notes, device brand and lot, subsequent revision or excision attempts, and specialist notes for pain and erosion are often central to individual claims.
