TVT surgery support still inadequate

Many people feel that TVT surgery support and aftercare remains inadequate, even after the conclusions of the recent review and the additional guidelines from NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence).

The revised guidance has already face significant criticism on the basis that it doesn’t go far enough, and fails to address the long-term impact vaginal mesh devices can have.

Despite this being a worldwide issue that has been going on for over a decade, women undergoing TVT surgery in the last few years are still not receiving adequate support, it’s claimed. Although we can’t turn back the clock, we can make sure that clients who claim compensation with us are supported as best as we can.

Claim for vaginal mesh surgery costs

As part of a claim for personal injury compensation, you may be able to claim back additional vaginal mesh surgery costs, as well as other losses and expenses.

When you make a claim, it isn’t just compensation you receive for the pain and suffering. The idea is that you should not be out-of-pocket financially, and you should be back in the position you were in prior to the negligence. Treatment, surgery and claiming back costs can be an important part of this, and it can all be factored into your case.

We’ll give you a brief overview as to how it all works in this article, so read on for more advice.

Will the UK ban vaginal mesh surgery?

Following last year’s pause on the use of the procedure, the big question on many people’s lips is this: will the UK ban vaginal mesh surgery as other countries have?

One of the primary criticisms over the outcome of the recent changes into the use of vaginal mesh that followed last year’s ban was that it suggested there’s a lack of long-term knowledge. From the tens of thousands of women worldwide who have suffered complications, some of them permanent, there’s clearly a great deal of long-term knowledge out there.

But despite this, the UK has still yet to ban the use of vaginal mesh surgery procedures, and many are left wondering whether a permanent ban will ever take place.

Options for private mesh removal surgery

As a law firm representing women for vaginal mesh compensation claims, we know how bad things can get. And that’s why we know how important private mesh removal surgery can be.

With the NHS still offering the procedure, the risks to women continue. In some cases, the mesh implant complications that can arise can be so bad that further surgery is needed together with a lengthy treatment plan. This can be achieved via the NHS, but it isn’t always easy to obtain. In some cases, people have had to wait for months for help, or even longer than a year. That can be the case for both surgery and for treatment.

So, what do you do when your life is on hold and you need to wait for a long time for treatment? Private mesh removal surgery and treatment is one option, and this can be factored into a claim for compensation.

Has TVT mesh has ruined your sex life?

We know this can be a difficult subject to discuss, but if TVT mesh has ruined your sex life, what can you do?

There are a number of incredibly serious complications that can arise from TVT mesh surgery. One of those is the serious impact it can have on your sex life. The constant pain and the damage to the surrounding tissues can make intercourse simply too painful (known as dyspareunia). The mental stress alone can also have an impact on physical relationships as well.

Unfortunately, as we often say, we can’t turn back the clock. What we can do is help you with a legal case for compensation if you’ve suffered as a result of a TVT mesh implant that has gone wrong. The levels of damages that can be awarded can be high given the severity of the complications that can arise.
