When mesh implants worsen incontinence, it can be a huge blow. One of the underlying reasons for having a sling or tape fitted is to correct incontinence. For it to be worsened can be devastating; even more so when there’s nothing that can be done.

Just last month there was another case in court where the Claimant’s matter involved the worsening of her incontinence.
