Making a pelvic mesh claim against a surgeon

You can make a pelvic mesh claim against a surgeon if the negligence for any part of your problems and suffering arises from advice or operations that you have undergone.

In vaginal mesh compensation claims there can be several potential avenues for pursuing a case. It may be that there were better alternatives, or it could be that the device was defective or unsuitable for you. If it comes down to an advice or surgical aspect, that’s when you may have a legal case that needs to be directed against a surgeon.

With the problems and complications that patients can suffer from often being so severe, here’s some vital advice about your options and what you may be able to do.

The problem with long-term pelvic mesh complications

The issue with long-term pelvic mesh complications is that they can be permanent and severe, and there’s still too little evidence being properly assessed in many people’s view.

When the revised NICE guidelines were published last year that allowed the continuation of this controversial procedure, there was a suggestion that there was an absence of long-term knowledge. However, this has been strongly challenged on the basis that there are thousands of women worldwide who have been suffering serious mesh implant complications for years, yet their voices appear to not be heard.

We act for women who are suffering from irreversible damage from a vaginal mesh procedure. Although we can make sure that women are entitled to justice with a claim for personal injury compensation, we believe far more needs to be done to address the underlying problems.

Internal injuries from pelvic mesh surgery

Some patients can suffer internal injuries from pelvic mesh surgery. Such injuries can be caused by the device itself failing, or during surgery for implantation or removal.

In some cases, women who suffer these kinds of vaginal mesh complications can be entitled to justice. You could be entitled to make a claim for personal injury compensation for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. You may also be able to recover damages for any losses and expenses as well.

If this applies to you, here’s some advice about your options for justice and how we may be able to represent you for a legal case on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Pelvic mesh implant removal help

When things have gone wrong, pelvic mesh implant removal may be the only option that’s left for patients to prevent any further suffering or reduce problems occurring.

But it isn’t always easy to get the help that you need. With NHS waiting times and resources for vaginal mesh complications sometimes limited, where do you turn when you need help sooner rather than later?

There are options for private surgery and treatment. It isn’t always guaranteed to work, and in some cases there’s nothing that can be done; but if something can be done, this is something you can explore. When it comes to the costs, a claim for compensation can be the way forward.

Treatment for pelvic mesh problems

We know that getting the right advice and treatment for pelvic mesh can be problematic, which is why we ensure to factor this into claim for compensation.

It’s important to know that it isn’t always possible to assist with treatment as a law firm, but there are steps we can take to try and help in some cases. The idea of making a claim is to put you back in the position you would have been in had the incident never have occurred, and whilst we can’t turn back time, treatment options may be available.

In cases where we’re able to establish liability, we may be able to include some form of treatment assistance.
