Pelvic mesh removal problems and what to do

Pelvic mesh removal problems can be serious, and with the issue of complete removal impossible in some cases, victims need to know their rights for justice.

We pursue claims for personal injury compensation for women who have suffered as a result of their transvaginal mesh surgery causing problems. We’re representing a number of women for legal cases, and the issue of removal problems can be factored into a claim.

There are a few things that we can do as part of the case to assist, and you can be eligible to claim damages where removal has been a problem as well.

Vaginal mesh aftercare criticised worldwide

Vaginal mesh aftercare, especially when things go wrong, has faced significant criticism around the world, including here in the UK.

Last year, a widespread pause for the use of transvaginal mesh and tape for things like stress urinary incontinence (SUI) and pelvic organ prolapse (POP) was put in place. In April this year, revised guidelines were issued by NICE (The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence), which have also faced stern criticism.

When it comes what you can do about the injustices of poor aftercare, you should know that you have rights. And we’re here to help you.

Long-term effects of pelvic mesh remain worrying

The long-term effects of pelvic mesh remain a considerable concern, and this year’s changes to the guidelines surrounding the use of mesh implants has not been too helpful.

The pelvic mesh saga has been going on for over a decade now, and thousands of women have suffered problems and compilations. This has led to compensation claims being made around the world, including the clients we represent for cases here in the UK. Despite the problems many women have suffered from, mesh is still used for surgery, and people are still being harmed.

With this in mind, the long-term impact of transvaginal mesh devices continues to be a worry,. The issue as to whether the plight of suffering women is being ignored remains at the heart of why this procedure continues to be controversial.

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.

The severity of TVT mesh pain symptoms

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.

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.
