We offer expert help & advice for those who need to make a mesh implant compensation claim!
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.
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.
TVT mesh pain symptoms can be severe, lifelong, and can change a victim’s life forever. That’s why the work that we do is important; victims deserve access to justice.
Vaginal mesh complications can be truly horrendous. We can tell you this from experience with our own clients, but it’s also not hard to find the many horror stories online as well.
We were surprised by the outcome of the NICE review that was published last month. The criticism about the perceived lack of long-term knowledge is justified in our view. There’s plenty of horror stories where women have been left with severe pain for decades. There’s great deal more evidence out there then they reported.
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.
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.
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.
We think that people are right to be worried about pelvic mesh safety, especially as we’re lawyers who have seen first-hand just how bad the problems can be.
We’re acting for a number of women who are claiming mesh implant compensation. Some of the complications our client have suffered are serious. Some women can be left with lifelong problems that can leave them unable to walk or work ever again.
The recent revised guidelines have been criticised as not going far enough to ensure that women are protected when this procedure is an option on the table. The debate over pelvic mesh safety may well continue for quite some time.
One of the biggest problems is that TVT mesh removal is hard for surgeons in the UK, and indeed across the world.
We represent clients who are suffering horrendous complications because their TVT mesh implant has failed. In some cases, symptoms haven’t improved, and it’s a known issue that some women can be left with permanent problems because it can be difficult for surgeons to remove.
We can’t turn back the clock. All we can do is ensure you are able to access the best treatment possible and ensure that you receive justice through a claim for compensation.
When mesh implants worsen incontinence, it’s a serious matter. Vaginal mesh is intended to resolve problems like incontinence. But when things go wrong, it can be worsened.
There are a number of problems and complications that women can suffer from when a vaginal mesh procedure goes wrong. When there are cases where problems and complications cannot be resolved, some patients may be left with issues for life.
So, what can you do if this happens to you? Can you make a claim for compensation as a victim who has suffered when a vaginal mesh implant hasn’t worked?
Critics have hit out over the new vaginal mesh guidelines that have been introduced by the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE).
The new guidelines are said to have taken into account the experiences of numerous women who have suffered serious complications caused by vaginal mesh implants. There’s also said to be an increased focus on the need for women to be better informed about the potential risks, some of which can leave women unable to work or walk ever again.
But many believe that the new guidelines don’t go far enough and certainly don’t appear to have truly mirrored the horrendous suffering many women have endured. As a law firm acting for women who have suffered form vaginal mesh surgery, we know how bad it can get.
