In a health alert issued on October 28, 2008, the FDA stated that, over the last three years, it has received more than 1,000 reports from nine surgical mesh manufacturers of complications that were associated with surgical mesh devices, including Bard Avaulta mesh, used to repair Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP) and Stress Urinary Incontinence (SUI). One of the Bard Avaulta mesh complications most frequently reported to the FDA was erosion through the vaginal epithelium, the thin lining covering the vaginal wall.
One way Bard Avaulta Mesh may begin to erode through the vaginal epithelium is if a patient suffers some trauma during insertion of the mesh. Examples of trauma that may occur during insertion of Bard Avaulta mesh include bowel, bladder and blood vessel perforation.

Chronic vaginal discharge and vaginal pain and pressure are the most common presenting symptoms of Bard Avaulta mesh erosion through the vaginal epithelium. While vaginal examination may reveal granulation tissue without overt evidence of erosion, careful examination will reveal mesh material underneath the granulation tissue in most cases.
