The FDA Safety Alert released during July 2011 on the  subject of surgical mesh used in pelvic organ prolapse repair has one quality  that makes it unique from typical FDA safety alerts on medical devices: Instead  of singling out a product that has market approval under a certain brand name  and by a specific company, the alert is a sweeping warning that covers all  surgical mesh products used in pelvic organ prolapse repair.  It’s hard to believe that all surgical mesh  products operate in the same way or that all of them lead to the same pelvic mesh problems.  However, this FDA warning seems like a mere  first step.  The agency is currently  reviewing the use of surgical mesh for other pelvic surgeries, and has not  recalled any products yet.  While the use  of surgical mesh is still a legal option for pelvic organ prolapse repair, the  Safety Alert does encourage uro-gynecologic surgeons to choose alternate repair  methods if possible.
