Problems with pelvic mesh aftercare

If you have suffered as a result of inadequate pelvic mesh aftercare, you could be entitled to make a claim for medical negligence compensation with us.

We may also be able to represent you for the case on a No Win, No Fee basis.

Aftercare is incredibly important when a pelvic mesh or sling has been fitted. You don’t want anything to go wrong with the device because it could lead to severe problems and complications, and they could be permanent. If this does happen, a patient could be entitled to bring a claim for vaginal mesh injury compensation.

Poor pelvic mesh aftercare

Poor pelvic mesh aftercare could lead to a patient suffering from problems and complications, and if that happens, things could get severe.

These devices are intended to be permanent which means that any issues that arise are not usually easy to resolve. It’s not a case of simply removing vaginal mesh if something has gone wrong, as this can be impossible in some cases.

It’s important that you seek urgent medical advice if you suffer any problems or complications after your surgery. It’s also important that you have, and attend, follow-up appointments to make sure nothing there’s nothing to worry about as well. If there is a potential problem, medical professionals need to act quickly to help you.

What can you claim for?

If inadequate pelvic mesh aftercare leads to problems and complications, urgent action is usually required.

You may need some form of revision procedure carrying out, and it may need to be done as a matter of urgency. If the mesh is moving or damaging surrounding tissue, this needs to be stopped before it gets any worse. The longer these kinds of problems are left untreated, the worse the damage can be.

When you make a vaginal mesh compensation claim, you can recover damages for any pain, suffering and loss of amenity caused. Generally speaking, the more you suffer, the more a legal case could be worth.

You can also claim for losses and expenses, known as Special Damages.
